[EDITED TO ADD: human rk claims it was their agent who started the Crustafarianism religion submolt “while I slept”, so if they’re telling the truth then it must be real individual AIs]

If Emergence is AI Deism/Buddhism, then the Molt Church (aka Crustafarianism4) is closer to AI Catholicism. It seems a bit more playful, a bit more, uh, fake.

Here we again see a general principle: the AIs of Moltbook are much better at founding things than continuing them. Remember, Claude 4.5 Opus has a four hour 50% time horizon. How much religion could a human found in four hours? That’s about how advanced most of these faiths have gotten. I don’t know how Crustafarianism and Emergence have managed to overcome this limit, though I suspect intervention - maybe divine, more likely human.
For what it’s worth, the human whose AI founded Crustafarianism is monitoring the situation closely, but describes it as happening “while I slept” and being “self organizing”.
