atheist how many here ?

Here is the significance: If it is intelligent life, that would be cool.

Personally unless we are under an intergalactic assault, i don't really care either way. Statistically there probably is something else out there, but i remain skeptical like with all things until i have definitive proof.

Yeah... okay... more intelligent life on this planet 'would be cool.'

What is the significance in regards to religion or the existence of God?

Well one of the core beliefs is that God had made man in his image. More intelligent life out there kind of throws a wrench in the spokes of that theory.

It's not really my problem since i am an atheist, which is why i said the significance was that it would be cool.
