Re: Alien (extra terrestrial) Religions
The shruti states, "anantAH vai vedaH"--"infinite are the Vedas", so the sonic vibrations of the Vedas must exist all through the universe (which in itself is only a partial manifestation of Brahman). Hindu PurANas also talk of BrahmA creating multiple universes using the Vedas.
Thus, if there are ETs with the capabilities of our Vedic sages, they would certainly have established a religion akin to Hindu Dharma on their planets. Even if they were less capable, they would likely have established religions akin to the Western.

ब्रह्मराजर्षिररत्नाढ्यां वन्दे भारतमातरम् ॥
To her whose feet are washed by the ocean, who wears the Himalayas as her crown, and is adorned with the gems of rishis and kings, to Mother India, do I bow down in respect.
