First of all, space travel along interstellar distances requires so fundamental scientific breathrus that I bet it is just impossible; as a proof, there are no evidences of ETs roaming on Earth for at least all human recorded history (nearly 10 millenia) and this makes the initial question immediately pointless.
Anyway, just to make a useless thread grow longer (like an appendice owned by roughly 50% of the presumed intelligent overlords of Earth), let's assume that they come here.
Should we meet aliens, the question won't be whether they accept to worship a mythological figure of ours but which of the following options is true: they find us...
They must have been safe enough to have time to waste in things like technology and space travel so they must be the apex predator of their planet, like we are. The most capable killing machine of their planet, like we are. In addition, they have manged to control their internal aggression instinct, so they must have steered towards other species. Last, they are terrifingly more advanced than us in science and technology, something which requires rationality, a concept in total, unreconcilable odds with religion.
Anyway, don't worry. They won't come here. They have exterminated themselves long time ago, by wars and the destruction of the environment of their planet, like we are doing now. They are dead, like we will be in a short time.
Bye...
