What do you think will happen to Religion if Extra Terrestrial Life were discovered?

[chasm]

My question in all of this... why would it matter if they were RELIGIOUS? I mean frankly, there are more important matters at hand than if the space travelers are religious. Could they breath oxygen? Would they understand our languages? How did they get here? Where are they from?

And to answer Godhead's question, if they were at all religious in some way, how do you know that their religion is remotely similar to ours?

Superstarr: Though I agree with you, I have to say, you're a little off. How do you know that the space travelers would be just like us? I mean, how do you know that new technologies would have been scorned, and all that religious stuff happened, etc? How do you know that their timeline and our timeline would look almost exactly alike? I don't think they would. They would be another species, in another galaxy... It's highly doubtful that their history would be similar to ours. Even if they were religious, they could be more advanced than us. Maybe on their planet they didn't have a bunch of other different religions, just one. Maybe they were able to achieve a utopia (even if it's a religious utopia) much faster than us, and therefore advanced in technologies much quicker.
