The more interesting question I thought you were asking is: would any religion survive a resurrection of Jesus (as in, provably so). Assuming Jesus could make rulings on exactly how to be a Christian, would the "wrong" denominations with conflicting beliefs disappear? Would Islam disappear, given that it regards Jesus as A prophet but not THE prophet? Would unrelated religions disappear?

It's an interesting question. One thought is that essentially Jesus' coming was foretold the first time, and he didn't really get that many followers. One would have to wonder if he could do better a second time.

The internet and mass media would help any evidence spread much faster than preaching to small groups of people as one travels.

I think the outcome would be that most religious people would keep their own beliefs or somehow use it to support their own faith. Atheists could be persuaded to believe that the event was taking place but the likely explanation would still be aliens with advanced abilities (possibly including universe creation) rather than a unique Creator of Earth.
