[General Scifi] Are there any examples of alien races adopting Earth's real-life religions?

Off the top of my head, I remember a piece of flavor-text from Mass Effect stating some Turians adopt Zoroastrianism or Confucianism. They're an atheist species, as tends to be the rule in scifi, but they find it gels well with their existing cultural values.

I think aliens sometimes comment on earth religions in Star Trek but I can't think of any specifics.

Are there others? Do any futuristic alien races become Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, anything like that?

*The Streets of Ashkelon* by Harry Harrison is an interesting look at this. It's about a Christian missionary who attempts to convert a friendly alien race, and encounters some success.

Major spoilers:

>!The aliens have no concept of fiction and are incapable of lying, so they believe absolutely everything he tells them. However, the lack of immediate or even recent miracles troubles them, and they come to the conclusion that, for a new world, a new Messiah is needed. So they crucify the missionary, very carefully, and wait for him to rise from the dead. The story ends with them beginning to realise that he's not coming back, and that they are now murderers.!<
