There's a rich SF tradition of spectacular human failures at bringing relijin to the aliens - Bradbury's "The Fire Balloons" is a hoot, and Harry Harrison's "An Alien Agony" isn't - which I assume is a response to colonialism. Come to think of it, so are Kinda and The Mutants, of course. I was fascinated by an interview with some Creationists who said there couldn't be life on other worlds, because it wouldn't be fair that they'd missed out on God's involvement with Earth.
