If intelligent life is found in the universe will it change religion(s)?
....with the James Web Telescope looking for sources of artificial light to identify potential intelligent life, and the news this week of Perseverance searching for microbial life on Mars it feels like we are getting closer to a major discovery.

This actually brings up a good point that I never thought of before--it seems likely that if aliens have a religion, that religion will become a source of instant fascination to humans and will likely shake up Earth's religious landscape a lot more than the simple existence of alien life would (alien life simply existing would not have much of an impact by itself IMO).
