i wonder how world religions would deal with it if we get in touch with extraterrestrial intelligence, imagine they worship few gods who have nothing to do with Christianity, Islam, or Hinduism or any other religions we have back here on earth! that is such a scary thought, because either it is going to bring all religions to the end or "by surprise to science!" it would confirm one of them
