It's certainly possible religions will adapt to this and incorporate alien life into their narrative. Religions has proved to be a tenacious meme, so I'm sure it can continue to reinvent itself.
Religions will treat it in the same way they treated indigenous peoples, convert and/or die.
That assumes a comparable level of development which is highly unlikely. Just look at how quickly our civilization changed in just a few thousand years. Stuff like the internet would've been basically magic even a few hundred years ago. Imagine what the civilization might look like in another thousand years assuming we don't wipe ourselves out.
