The empirical cases supply real-world examples of religious uses of AI, including the use of robot priests and AI-made interpretations of the Quran or the Talmud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final section includes reflective, future-oriented, essay from the editors in conversation with AI, approaching religion and AI from three perspectives: sociology of religion, media studies, and visual arts.
