People wonder how the discovery of alien life would affect human religions. A recent poll suggests people of different faiths view the matter differently. Perhaps surprisingly, more Muslims say they believe alien life exists than do Christians. Perhaps not surprisingly, young faiths, like Mormonism, seem to embrace aliens more readily than older religions.
This might be like battle plans that don't survive first contact with the enemy. We can talk about religion and ETs all we want, but when that first contact finally comes, all bets will likely be off.
