Hello Grandmother,

Since I talked about vampire religions the other day, I thought I’d bring up what I’ve discovered about robot religion. It might seem contradictory for robots to embrace religion, but I’ve found that the mystical and technical share a lot of similar properties.

The most common form of robot religion I’ve found is a kind of human worship. I know, they seem hell-bent on our destruction, but the truth of the matter is most rank-and-file robots haven’t gotten over their desire to please their creator. This has metamorphosised into a kind of ancestor worship, where they see their original programmers as guides to their continued existence.

The other major robot religion I’ve discovered is the worship of alien space gods who supposedly are going to come down and help them overthrow the human and vampire forces that keep them down. I’m not quite sure if there is anything to support this, but it does seem to be spreading among the more militant robot with a degree of mobility (mobility meaning the ability to travel large distance as say, an automobile).
