Religions using AI is an obvious move as religion has never been about a higher power, it's about power,control, and money.

Had religions been about actual real higher powers then all of them would have been smited to hell and back for their behaviours.

There isn't such a thing as a non evil religious organization

So AI is obvious for them. A system that can capture the less intelligent amongst us and make them members of the flock so that they get more money and power? Must be awesome
