World's first robot citizen an atheist?

RE: World's first robot citizen an atheist?
Data was a great rep for AI in fiction.  Follow me here.  Despite being intelligent and a being, in any consistent sense of either word...and despite being intentionally designed to mimic humanity, it was a bumbling idiot when it came to simple and obvious facets -of- humanity.  Because, being an intelligent being is not, necessarily, the same as being a human being.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I used the reference with Comm. Data for 2 reasons:
• This whole thing sounds like a fiction since there's no real AI yet, it's only a project.
• I don't know the name of the actor who played the role of Comm. Data, so it was easier to just use one of my memes to point that this story with the AI atheist is nothing but a hoax.
Laziness is the engine of progress.

Well, IDK whether or not there's "real ai" yet...but..it wasnt a dig or comment on you.  More just me being "real intelligence" and saying shit I felt compelled to say.  Wink
