Do you consider people closed-minded that don't believe in extraterrestrial life?

I have a religious background and believe in life outside this planet. The universe is, quite literally too damn big to not have any other forms of life.

I'm more than sure humans have even found some smaller forms of life on mars(?), though they were only bacteria or something similar that can't be seen with the naked eye. Not sure if this comment helps or not though!!

It helps.  I just don't see a reason why religion should hold someone back from believing life exists beyond Earth. 

It shouldn't. I don't think anywhere in the King James bible,(christian) mentions alien races at all, well that's as far as I'm aware and I'm very far off from an expert. Just because it isn't mentioned though, doesn't mean it isn't there. I doubt the 12 apostles would have thought we'd be discussing them and their religion over the internet some 2000 years later... Because obviously, that isn't in the bible either.

Have you tried asking your mum if aliens even get a mention? She may know better than me on that subject.
