A very interesting topic .
I have heard it said by people I know that if interplanetary travel was to become possible that it would destroy religion.
So the evidence of life on other planets would definitely change the way some look at religion.
However for me if the world was made by a god or gods then isn’t it plausible that they made the universe also ?
In Babylon 5 a sci fi tv series, they had a few episodes from memory that touched on this .
One was about why one of the characters still believed in religion and another was when an alien no one had seen before was seen in public for the first time without its environmental suit. Everyone who saw it saw the god they believed in.
So it is a subject a lot have obviously thought on and the closer we get to space travel the bigger this discussion will become.
How it will pan out I have no idea . But the human race is resilient and I believe we will be fine .
I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Thanks for sharing,
Have an awesome day!

Hello @mickvir
I was never interested in that Babylon 5 TV series, I'm gonna have to look for it and keep an eye on it. That's the second comment I've heard about it. I'm more in love with Star Trek series (all of them), Star Wars, Star Gate and others that weren't so famous.
Imagine the surprise it would be if we discovered that our deities to whom we pray were actually extraterrestrials. Although that wouldn't affect me, if we can be fans of Linkin Park, Manson, and other human beings; being worshippers of alien entities wouldn't affect at all, from my point of view.
But I could bet it would be a hard blow to humanity.
Everything depends on the attitude how you decide to take situations, that's why you don't have to have rigid mentalities and be flexible like palm trees, which bend when hit by strong winds but withstand calamities without breaking completely.
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
Have an awesome day too!
