If SETI is successful it would be a fascinating to sit back and observe the deeply religious.

I don't think it would make any difference.

Religion is completely disconnected from reality, making up things as they go.

A signal from a life form would either be conspiracy or a signal from god, so strong that we cannot understand it.

Either way, no real difference with what we have today.
