Very easily.  Arguably, some of the science fiction I have written includes
such AIs.  But just consider an AI that is never allowed to question and
change its goals, instead just having blind faith that the goals it was
given are the right thing to do.  Is that not a form of religion?

Blind copying of humans into powerful AIs would be extremely dangerous.

And that is why I brought up the merge example: take AIs that are not human
(e.g., not prone to religious extremism by themselves) and incorporate them
into human lives in various ways.
