At a recent meeting of the Royal Society in London the focus was on the affect the discovery of extraterrestrial life might have on established human religion. The consensus seemed to be that the discovery of ET microbes nearby-- on Mars or Europa, for instance-- probably wouldn't be a big problem, but finding ET signals coming from deep space would likely be a different matter entirely.
The debate seems to have emphasized the role of Jesus Christ, which would've given the discussion a Western tilt. Did Jesus die for humanity, or for a wider populace? Did Jesus die once, or several times, on several worlds, in various ways? Did a particular Roman hammer ring through the Universe?
These are not questions science can answer-- now, or in the foreseeable future.
