So, let's see..either it didn't happen..or it did, and some device took a break from being hilariously wrong all the time and got something right for a change. Seems unremarkable either way.
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 don’t know when this video occurred, but Amazon does have a recent updat which adds routines to Alexa. With these routines, you can invoke a certain phrase, and preform some actions, as well as; make a pre-programmed response.
But in the end Alexa is not that smart anyway. And even if this was the result off some machine analytics.... the question still needs to be asked why, the same as anyone else.

Sure. I'd be very interested to know why or how from an intellectual standpoint.
But the point of these videos is to somehow point out that Amazon is biased against Jesus or Christians. If something like this were merely the result of a machine learning algorithm, then one could hardly squawk about a controversy, no?
I’m not getting too excited... though what you said makes sense.... they will need to be more overt.
