Will religion still exist if we have a chance to live in other planets and find other sapient life ?

don't underestimate the stupidity of religion
They'll just move the goal post one step further like they have been doing since the dawn of man

lmfao
it's not stupidity
it's willful ignorance
>>723373049
Of course it will
After all the scientific and technological advances we've made, religion is still here. Some schmuck is find a passage of the bible and interpret it in a way that seems as though God wanted us to spread His message to other planets this whole time

Outside western countries there are so many people who are not only like "Simple Jack" when it comes to intelligence but also need comfort which is easy to get from religion.
I'd say life on another planet would be very harsh at first which would lead to religions.
And unless you get rid of the need for comfort that medicine, laws, safety, etc. give us, there will always be religions - just because people like to be comforted by something.

being a religious person i can tell you what will happen.
>find new planets
>bring said religions
>goverments will give them free funding to make sure there is equal distribution of each religion
>including the ones that have no historical importance
>CO$
>find some type of intelligent life
>religious context will be re-written
remember that scene in Prometheus where michael fassbender tells the main character
>You still believe after everything you know is false
Her response after that is
>Who created them then
Thats what will happen
It'll just be another episode of Manifest Destiny.
"Oh hey, look at these awesome new planets GOD put here for us to find/colonize/drain of all resources."

idiots will always exist

I feel like they fall under the same categorie to a degree.
But if anything it will probably only expand from there. And thats okay.
What I worry about is if those fucks didnt have religion to lean their head on. Just because they dont believe in god anymore doesnt mean they will just suddenly accept science.
>praise the alien race which formed us
>>723373049
Alien races will exterminate us when they realize some of us have embraced the deadly fascism of liberal ideology.
They won't let it spread. They'll kill us all.
