Yet, if our ET friends turn out to be atheists, I have a feeling that our Christian brothers and sisters will be saying that this confirms that only they are truly saved in the eyes of their God.

Actually, I'd bet that a good number of Christians would claim that the aliens are really demons.

If alien life were discovered and they had a religion that was specifically strikingly similar to any practiced on earth, I'd start taking a very good look at it.

I am thinking you are underestimating Christians, tho' I do admit that there are some sects that refuse to accept that man landed on the moon and there would be some sects claiming alien beings to be demonic at first, (and even some who would insist upon it even after several years passed by, afterall, some people are so willing to believe in conspiracies, theyjust can't help themselves, and some would always doubt the aliens) (btw- I tend to be an agnostic, so I am not defending myself religious beliefs that statement.)

However, what happens IF some Little Grren Dudes land and don't pray 5 times a day while bowing towards Mecca? Now, not all memebers of a group are identicle, but what would be the reaction of Islamic fundamentalists?
