If we made first contact with intelligent life how significantly would religion change and would it potentially make humans more xenophobic? [Spirituality & Religion]

Religion probably wouldn't change at all really. A vast majority of religious people wouldn't believe the truth if it was staring them in the face.
As for the population becoming more xenophobic, it would depend on if they were friendly and who was in charge of communication with them ect. I'd like to believe we'd all be cool with it so we could learn from them, especially to know if there are other species of aliens out there but we're so mistrusting I can't imagine the people in charge (now especially.) Would be very understanding.
