I cant speak for every religion but nothing in Christianity or Buddhism excludes life on other planets and some religions even speak of their "gods" as if they are alien visitors. Some unreleased books of the bible talk about technology beyond what people could build. God had Moses or Noah one build him a landing pad. When the Jews spent 40days and 40 nights in the wilderness he gave them a machine that made food. A lot of the sights and sounds associated with God visiting or leaving are similar in some tellings to a rocket ship taking off.
There is an ancient religious text in India(can't think of its name) that sounds like a Star Wars type battle. Describes the machines in detail.
One thing you have to consider is what are you talking about when you say life? Simply organisms or conscious beings like us? What if all we find are simple organisms out there? Another thing you have to look at is how old the galaxy is, how long it takes light to travel. What if life existed on another planet 1 billion years ago? What if there is one out there right now as we speak? We wouldn't know it depending on distance. if it takes a million light years to get here, they could be extinct by the time we discover them. Imagine the universe as a big field in the summer filled with lightening bugs. Now if you've ever watched them you'll know they don't all flash at the same time. Imagine each flash is the beginning and end of a civ. That's how I like to look at it any way.
