Satan/Lucifer (The Devil) and demons are considered fallen angels in Christianity, I don't know what the Islamic belief of that is.

Yes I think all religions believe in some sort of extraterrestrial life, but mainly angels, demons, ghosts/spirits and deities, but when people refer to religious people being against the idea of extraterrestrial life it's usually pointed towards their disbelief of lifeforms beyond Earth, the type of lifeforms we consider aliens when they come to Earth, not angels and demons. When saying all or most religions are totally against that idea I think that'd be classed as generalizing, but for let's say 30'/. of religious people (I'm talking about Christians now) believe that because they're not mentioned in the Bible then they don't exist.
