Will machines be recognized as being sentient when they create their own religion? Is religion a sign of our own sentience?

Will humanity one day abandon ritualized worship?

Would a machines worship us, or the gods that we believe in?

For those who don't believe in a religion, does a piece of software that prays reinforce the futility of religion? Conversely, for the faithful, does it show how much is lost through automation, and the need for a human being to be present for any spiritual meaning to come from the ritual of prayer?

Will people try to delegate their faith to machines in an attempt to "save time" in their daily lives?

Is God, in any of the forms that the people of the world believe in him/her, listening to our prayers? Is echoing out individual prayers to random portions of the Internet an appropriate analogy to the transmission of prayers by humans?

Would machines, if they ever adopt religion, pray into a vast network, or just let individual prayers exist only in memory banks?
