  They don’t gaf about religion beyond the tribal shit and that it gives them a way to act better than those who disagree with them and appeal to an authority that will never contradict them.

  Catholics aren’t opposed to it.

  “God became man in Jesus in order to save us. So if there are also other intelligent beings, it’s not a given that they need redemption. They might have remained in full friendship with their creator,” he said.

  Father Funes went on to say that Christ’s incarnation and sacrifice was a unique and unrepeatable event. But he said he was sure that, if needed, God’s mercy would be offered to aliens, as it was to humans.

  I don’t think this is like official doctrine, but it seems to be the most common attitude I’m finding.

  As far as Protestants: the flat earth types might be against aliens because that goes against their everything. I’m really only talking your KJV-onliest or freaky Pentecostal teetering into cult types that would think aliens were literal demons.

  But I think most fundies would probably be fine with aliens if they were allowed to proselytize to them, and most mainline Christian churches would be fine with aliens existing.
