      It’s possible, but not because they are religious. If they have limited technology – like humans had up until a few hundred years ago – it’s reasonable that they would come to the same conclusions we did, that everything (quite literally) revolves around them. However, if they have the same (or better) technology and can appreciate the size of the universe and everything in it, like us, it’s highly likely they’d be asking themselves the same questions that we do about what else is out there.

      Simon: Hi Psyduck! A bit like “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” Im betting the universe is full of aliens with all different kinds of beliefs and religions! Like the G’Gugvuntt and Vl’hurg who decide to send a battle fleet to Earth to avenge the destruction of their galaxy after a terrible war only to be eaten by a small dog on their arrival:
