The human diplomats and linguists read through the aliens' holy texts, looking for commonalities that will smooth over relations...

Seriously a species will have to do away with superstitious belief systems before they can advance to the point of being able to travel the stars. The logic in that, is that by the time a species is capable of this feat, many things will be well understood even by the general public. Hopefully by them not being so backward as to believe in such credulous claims, you will see a much more progressive society thats improves at a much faster rate.

In simple terms I don't think a planet killing itself over who's God is King(as has been occuring here for too long, with no end in sight) will survive long enough to travel the stars.

We were hoping to come in peace...

look around, Jeffrey. Most people here (in a science site) don't believe in god.

Why would far more intelligent aliens believe in a fantasy then?

My own theory is that we were an alien cloning experiment gone sadly awry, so in that case ET would be our god.
