Wasn't there an alien Catholic priest in Sub-Rosa?

If you’re referring to the Kriosians, they adopted the Scottish culture, which would likely make them Presbyterians or, at the very least, Anglicans. Unless they’re Stewarts (of Appin) then yeah, Catholic. 
All I remember from the episode is that they were definitely Christian, we see them making the sign of the cross, though I don't recall anything specific about which denomination they were being evident.
I wasn't even thinking of humans adapting to alien religions though I guess some would. I was thinking how new earth religions would pop up. Lots designed to take in account for alien life but you know even if we never meet aliens I believe in real life if humans are still around in 300 hundreds years those humans will have likely created a few new ones as well and I am guessing some current ones will be extinct.
I don't know. Have any religions been created within the past three hundred years? Aside from Scientology and Pastafarianism? Have any gone extinct?

If anything, contact with alien life would strengthen religion, not weaken it.
I mean, I'm not claiming that my faith is perfect or anything like that, but if we made contact with aliens right now, it wouldn't shaken my belief in God - it'd be just another part of the infinity of wonders He created.

all of them?
I don't personally know anyone who worships the Greek or Roman Pantheon.
I meant within the past three hundred years. Post has been edited accordingly.
Yup. Never understood the argument.
If first contact were to happen just over 40 years from now, we'd probably have a substantial segment of the population insisting that warp drive and Vulcans are government hoaxes...

"There's no such thing as Vulcans! They're part of an alien conspiracy to make us believe in extraterrestrial life!"
Stop the Human culture steal!
Vulcans are secretly telepathic--they can control your mind![/stoppedclock]
Mormonism. The whole edifice of evangelical Prosperity Gospel megachurches, which are effectively a different religion from old-line Protestant churches. Hell, even the Southern Baptists were mostly a reaction to abolitionist Christianity in the northern states.
So, pretty much every significant strain of contemporary North American Christianity (apart from Catholicism) is less than 300 years old. And we are observing it all being swept away in real time by the QAnon/Trump cult.
So yeah, religion will look very different in 300 years.
I worship Athena, among others.
As @Daddy Todd pointed out, there have been many new religious movements in the last 300 years, especially here in the US. I have a friend who's a religious studies professor and he specifically teaches about those. Don't forget Nation of Islam, which was founded in 1930.
Sympathy for the Pah Wraiths...
Here's a little fan fiction piece I wrote in 2013 for another forum about a conspiracy theorist dealing with conspiracy theorists in Star Trek Land:

In my 85 years, I've seen it all. I grew up during a time of fear and uncertainty, when our genetic or 'eugenic' creations had risen up and threw a third of the world into utter anarchy. We then entered a momentary peace, a pax terra, if you will, with only occassional outbursts of conflict, while still suffering from doubt and hesitation as to when the next global conflict might erupt. And then it happened. A World War to end all World Wars. Governments were destroyed, peoples eradicated. A global movement had arisen that did more than just threaten the eradication of the Human race. But in the end, we survived. And we now know why. Aliens.
I've said this all my life. We are not alone, and we have been watched. The little orange men in Roswell, the flying saucer over Omaha, the mythical whalers' spaceship, even the lizard men of Detroit, all earlier visits by other races within the last 116 years. Even further back, the Central American Sky Spirits or even the Greek Gods show signs of their extraterrestrial origin. But these details have been decried and denied by people fearful of losing their place at the center of the universe. We are not in the center, we have been in the fringes. And now, after going through hellfire and back, we are about to enter our true place, with our forefathers, amongst the stars.
The Vulcanians, as they're called, are not 'hobgoblins' or 'green elves', nor are they an ECON creation or a next evolution of Ferrisists. They are living breathing, near-human beings from a red planet 16 light years away orbiting the star 40 Eridani. Their appearance implies some sort of genetic link to humanity, an idea they themselves believe, as, unlike us, they have no indication they evolved on their home world.
I have petitioned for an audience with the Vulcanian ambassador, the honorable Solkar, who holds undoubtedly more intriguing information to help us discover the reason we are all here. In the meantime, let us stop these silly debates on whether the aliens are here to take over mankind or it is all an illusion. They had a better chance 10 years ago, and if this is an illusion, then I say pass the paladin, because this is the world I want to be apart of.

Within 300 years, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Latter Day Saints, Christian Science (not Scientology) all come to mind. Also Crowley’s Satanism.
Trump/Q certainly supplies a metanarrative and Messiah, but no specific rituals to tie (-lig) people together. Not sure it’s a religion yet,.
