All it would do is prove the existence of Extraterrestrial life. I don’t think the economy would be affected neither the beginning of WW3. I think the implications for religion would be complicated you would have the people who say this proves god’s existence. Then you would have the others who say it disproves god’s existence because it contradicts god’s “perfect plan” and design of the universe where only humans were created in the image of god, nothing else. So I think it’s a difficult one to predict accurately how religion would be affected, but I get the feeling it will become less prevalent and less dominant in society.
