The ones that would have the most difficulty are religions of the book, the sacred word, and it becomes harder if the followers are literalists.

This Weintraub guy's prejudices are pretty close to the surface. I won't speak for Muslims; their book is the product of one crazed human being. But believers in The Book ought to have no problem with extraterrestrials. After all, both the Old and New Testaments are chock full of encounters with "non-humans."

In the words of Larry Norman:

If there's life on other planets, I'm sure that he must know.

And he's been there once already and died to save their souls.

Would that mean that the Trinity I sreally more than just 3 entities? Would there be; The Father, SONS, and the Holy Ghost?

The Bible addresses the creation, fall and restoration of humanity.

God’s relation with and alien race could be alien to us.

Aside from that, ever wonder about the whole back story of angels?
