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

[Darwinian]

Any trip across interstellar space from one star system to another would require a huge investment in science over a very long period of time. It therefore follows that any such race capable of doing this would be, shall we say, very scientific.

Here on Earth, which is our only frame of reference, the vast majority of scientists who would be capable of furthering this kind of space fairing behaviour are at the very least, non religious.

Would it not therefore be reasonable to assume that a race that has so far advanced in this particular field would also be similarly secular by nature.

After all, it is science and it's pursuit of knowledge that has brought us to the civilisation that we have today and not the church, theologians or other religious organisations.
