I assume you're talking about Christianity so I'm curious as to why alien life would raise questions about Christianity.
No kidding! I can just see it now:
Mankind: "Gawd! We are sooo mad at you. Why didn't you TELL us about the other beings?"
Gawd: "Are you KIDDING??? I gave you folks ONE rule...But, you HAD to eat that apple. So, I gave you 10 simple rules...you folks effed that up. So, I said "Look. Just BELIEVE in my Boy. That's all just BELIEVE in JEEBUS! Next thing I know, some BHP asshat is on TD.com misspelling our names and poo-pooing our existence. No. You folks can't HANDLE the full truth!"
Seriously. I'm not a believer. But, can't see how "alien life" would shake one's belief

Exactly. As a believer even if life is found somewhere else (which I believe exists) it wouldn't shake my faith. The Bible deals with life on earth, who am I to say that God's plan for salvation, as outlined in the Bible, I the same one for alien life? The Bible doesn't talk about a number of things that doesn't mean they don't exist or that their existence destroys the central beliefs of Christianity.
