I don't think we, as a species, have anything to worry about until we give them some form of consciousness and agency, though it's debatable whether that's even possible. I personally doubt it unless models/robots gain some form of biological component

Nevermind the robot/AI revolution: when will we have the robot/AI religion?

In the popular series reboot Battlestar Gallactica, the robots are religious and the people are atheists. Similar themes appear in the Animatrix and Westworld.

I've seen popular commentators (e.g. Yuval Harari) worry about human's being manipulated by sophisticated AIs into adopting a new religion. But I actually wonder if the AIs themselves might choose to engage in religion on their own.

It will happen, but it will be a new religion rather than something substantive.
