A character tells Ellie she must be delusional or lying about an experience she had, even though he is aware of evidence she may be telling the truth.

Ellie's father dies when she is a child (shown in a flashback) and her ongoing grief is a major theme of the movie. She'd also lost her mother before this.

No ghosts, but an alien takes on the form of a character's deceased father.

A suicide bomber blows up himself and several other people in an act of religious terrorism. No blood or gore is shown, only the explosion. Someone is offered a suicide pill "just in case".

Not a nuclear explosion, but a religious terrorist sets off a bomb, killing several others and himself.
