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

Most will quickly look and discover the bible is silent on the topic which leaves plenty of room for God to create other aliens.

I'm not familiar with every religion, but I think most can say the same.

There's a wonderful scifi novel based on these themes, called "The Sparrow"

Pretty harrowing reading.
