If we discovered Aliens or if Aliens made contact with us, how would that impact our religions?

I know in the bible it talks about the multiple heavens and people being called up to the heavens like Christ, and Elijah. Also you have Jacobs ladders that showed Angels ascending and descending from heaven.
yep.
I think only if you have a religion that believes in aliens though because aliens should make people who believe in Christianity open their eyes a little bit since supposed earth is the only focus in the bible

And I remember Farrakhan use to talk about the motherplane. I think he even said if I'm not mistaken he was taken up in one.
So I would think it would depend on that person's belief to go back to the question in the Op. To some in this hypothetical it would be faith breaking to others faith encouraging.

Do you think it would increase doubt or enhance faith?

Religion would be over.
Man needs to feel like we are the zenith of creation.
that bullshyt would be out of the window with the brutal
reality of knowing that there are smarter/more technologically
advanced beings among us that could wipe the planet
clean of us if wanted.

None of that is pointing to life on other planets though.
They only talk about earth, heavens (sky) and heaven (after life)

Aliens would know the true path, and Drehs would disappear overnight :mjlit:

Seriously I doubt much would change. Religious folk will stay religious, some may waver but not many. It's a comfort to many, it's hard to give that up, which leads to the fear of the unknown.

I believe in a higher power, don't follow any specific religion though. Wouldn't change on my front.

If aliens exist then they would have probably created their own religion that they eventually dropped when they discovered science and learned to travel at light speed.


Religion is basically what everyone uses until they actually understand how things work then they drop it. (We make up answers as a placeholder until we discover mechanics to determine objective facts...... Aka science)

Aliens would be no different at first
