We can't claim Earth or Mars is flat once we are living on Mars. We also cannot really bring all the burial sites of our ancestors, the Vatican, or those other things that may sometimes be important for religious or spiritual reasons. As a pagan I guess the gods of nature can still apply on Mars though our thoughts about it would be radically different. Pagans might have different gods to represent the planet of Mars once they're living there. I am unsure that a lot of Christian, Jewish, or Muslim holy sites and pilgrimages can continue once we're on Mars either, unless a new Mecca is built over there.
Ironically I think some science-fiction religions like Scientology might actually gain popularity once we're on Mars. They won't be organized the same way and will probably evolve into completely different things, but regardless the basis in Sci-Fi will make it appealing in this scenario. For mine I think they will just replace the element Earth with Mars, and the element of Space will be added on top of the four religious elements.
