Oh boy, I would think religious people would be shocked by alien visitation, and have many inner questions to grapple with. In the US there are many many extreme religious people who believe that man is made in the image of God, that Jesus was the son of God and even that the Eden story is true. They would think aliens as demons. Who knows how these people would respond, it would be smart to try and plan for it.
Just imagine we an actually meet aliens one day and dare to ask them about a creator and they give us an answer completely different answer or reality that we have as humans. A billion people told they’ve been wrong in their belief this whole time. All the rules and sacrifices were meaningless. Jewish people could have enjoyed delicious bacon this whole time. Pandemonium if they confirm that Scientology is actually the correct one. Fuck they might even confirm God, then the billion atheists who rejected him start to panic. No doubt, Theology is at the core of the alien thought experiment.
