Religions don't let a little thing like facts get in the way.
Now please
I assumed everyone knew?
After all. There are no women on the Internet!
Is this why Asim18 vanished, send some curious pics to the fake account and realised too late???

They'll visit us and realise how stupid we are and won't bother eating our brains so I think we'll be fine.
Besides although they've found chemicals it's still too early to get excited. That said if we do see more evidence of something it's going to be pretty damned amazing and exciting.
Shame at even at 10% of light speed it's still over 1000 years away. Or maybe that's a good thing!

Hardly irrelevant, finding proof of any form of life outside of the Earth (though obvious there will be) will be momentous for the psyche of humanity and pushing religion further into irrelevance, where it should be.

Someone wasn’t visited by the Easter Bunny overnight…
Life on other worlds isn't incompatible with religion.

Depends which individual of which sect of which branch of which religion you speak to. Seeing as every single person has a different interpretation of their own religion (mainly due to the idea of other continents, let alone other planets or what life even is was alien at the time they were invented) the chances of any two people agreeing on anything to do with it is almost impossible.

Jatravartids?
Show me the aliens!
We know that life was formed on our planet from ingredients that arrived here via meteorites, so I don't see how the prospect of it occurring on other planets is such a big deal. 'Oh look, that thing which happened on our planet, might have happened on another planet too.' Uh... OK? But isn't that exactly what we expected anyway? It's a perfectly natural process after all.
Now, finding intelligent life would be a big deal, but date the only intelligent life we've found in the known universe is our own.
It absolutely is, that ship sailed centuries ago. All the way back in the Middle Ages, Nicholas of Cusa (a German Catholic Bishop, mathematician and astronomer) was affirming the possibility of intelligent life on other planets.
