The idea is to loosen the religious grip on people and open their minds up to the possibility that we are not alone in whole big wide universe.
Do you think that possibility is widely rejected?
All of them. Because all religions say that. All religions say that God only created intelligent life on Earth.
To achieve this they will change some key words in all the worlds holy books and the above phrase will certainly be one of them.
Just my thinking here, but the first point probably won't happen because the idea of coming clean to the public would probably be frightening. Frightened people generally avoid what is frightening them.
The report has become noted for one short section entitled "The implications of a discovery of extraterrestrial life", which examines the potential implications of such a discovery on public attitudes and values. The section briefly considers possible public reactions to some possible scenarios for the discovery of extraterrestrial life, stressing a need for further research in this area. It recommends continuing studies to determine the likely social impact of such a discovery and its effects on public attitudes, including study of the question of how leadership should handle information about such a discovery and under what circumstances leaders might or might not find it advisable to withhold such information from the public.
