God from the Machine : Artifical Intelligence Models of Religious Cognition, Hardcover by Bainbridge, William Sims, ISBN 0759107432, ISBN-13 9780759107434, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK

Without taking a position on what God is, or gods are, Bainbridge (science and engineering information integration and informatics, National Science Foundation) explores fundamental social processes of religion among humans. He employs two compatible forms of artificial intelligence: rule-based and neural networks, and Multi-Agent Systems, or Agent-Based Modeling approach, which is widely used to represent social interaction in computer simulations.
