Yes it would. But then this, by definition, is only another religion with what sounds like nothing more that testimony as evidence. There are other religions on earth that have the "god walking among them", "god resurrecting" story which I don't believe either.
In the end, if testimony were enough for me there is a good chance that I'd be a believer now.
Except the testimony we are getting is shit. It's all full of holes and mostly super stupid.
You see, I'd give the chances of an alien civilization having a Christian religion or something very similar to it a 0 percent chance. After all, Christianity didn't spontaneously form on multiple places on this planet! So the idea that it would be on a different one is such a crazy idea.
The chances against it, to me, seem so astronomical that I'd have to give it very serious thought.
