People around the world are turning to robots priests to deliver sermons and even conducting funerals.
The robot priest beams lights from its hands and can give automated blessings to the faithful.
After the robot wishes users a "warm welcome", it asks them if they want to be blessed by a male or female voice.
It then asks the believer "what blessing do you want", which results in the robot making a mechanical sound as it raises its arms to the heavens and starts to smile.
Lights then start to flash in the robot's arms as it says "God bless and protect you" and recites a biblical verse, wrapping up the spiritual experience.
In case you’re wondering, the robot priest can perform weddings, at least in Japan.
