Tell me about your religious robots

Androids are not precisely robots - rather, they represent attempts to modify and improve the human form from more or less the ground up using biological, mechanical, and psychic technology.

Though most pay reverence to the deities appropriate to their time and place, as all beings should, android clades may also practice more peculiar forms of religion. Being so heavily technological, they cannot reproduce themselves in the relatively easy and intuitive ways natural to evolved life - instead, they must carry out long and highly ritualised procedures, each one unique to the peculiar design specifications of an android clade. These procedures take on a spiritual quality, often becoming forms or objects of worship. Knowledge of such things is jealously guarded, becoming a sacred secret to each tight-knit lineage and a mystery to all outsiders.

In a variation on the ancestor worship common throughout proxihumanity, androids may also worship their creators and progenitors, the Bioprophets.
