That’s true about most important questions. But you’re factually wrong about the implications of most religions.

Many (most?) major religions teach that we are not the only intelligent life in the universe. The Abrahamic faiths teach the existence of angels, for example.

And even if we restrict it to intelligent biological life, most religions don’t really say anything about that at all.

In Catholicism our consciousness comes from our souls which we inherited by being the literal descendants of Adam and Eve.

That would at least exclude sentient extra terrestrial life.
