Calling an AGI a god too easily conjures up visions of a benevolent force. Even those who consider that it might not have our best interests at heart tend to think of dystopian science fiction.
I use the phrase "robot Cthulhu", because the Singularity will probably eat the world without particularly noticing or caring that there's someone living on it.
That really depends on how you feel about religion/god in the first place. To a guy like me, who is, as Hitchens is fond of describing himself, "not just an atheist, but an anti-theist", the uFAI/god connection makes me want to donate everything I have to SIAI to make sure it doesn't happen.
Maybe that's just me.
