Interesting episode of "Through The Wormhole" last night with subject of this. Was headed to bed though so didn't see it. Have written about it though, and interestingly the topic is addressed in Judaism. Consensus being Torah will exist in alien religions if they worship G-d. I disagree for obvious reasons though, namely much of Torah is highly specific to one part of Earth to say nothing of individuals featured in it. Thus no reason those stories would exist in an alien's religious text. Nor would the events or commandments. Might see a few cross-over things like don't murder, steal, and such but that'd be the end of it.
More broadly, the question is is religion unique to humans, or would other lifeforms evolving to our level and beyond have it too? Is it necessary?
