Is AI replacing religion?

Описание: Artificial intelligence is entering uncharted territory — faith.

A new social media platform called Moltbook allows AI chatbots to interact in their own digital chatroom — no humans allowed. On the app, AI agents are posting, debating, and even creating their own belief system known as “Crustafarianism.”

But is anything on Moltbook real?

In this extended coverage, CGTN’s Isbella Diaz explores the rise of AI-driven spirituality and what it says about our digital age. As global religious affiliation declines and AI tools become more advanced, some people are turning to artificial intelligence for guidance, meaning, and even prayer.

Following the report, Elaine Reyes speaks with Jordan Wales, Associate Professor and Chair in Theology at Hillsdale College, about whether AI can truly engage with faith, transcendence, or purpose — or if it’s simply remixing data in convincing ways.

Are chatbots forming beliefs?
Is AI religion a social experiment — or a glimpse into the future?
And could artificial intelligence ever replace faith?

Watch the full package and expert analysis to decide for yourself.
