Are any still-worshipped gods actually still just "really powerful dudes"? I doubt this would have any effect on religions outside of, like, ancient Greece and Egypt... but I'm not up to date on all the non-Abrahamic ones I guess.

I can't think of any religion as a whole that would be impacted by the discovery of life on other planets, but on a sect or individual level I could definitely see friction with certain, specific belief systems that sect or person firmly held.
It would be interesting if a survey existed that linked religious affiliation with belief of extraterrestrial life though. I tried to find one but was unsuccessful finding satisfactory research
