Even more people have read the Bible, the Quran, and the Vedas, so why not put out pamphlets in which Jesus, Muhammad and Krishna discuss AGI?

Jesus: We excel at absorbing external influences and have no problems with setting up new cults (just look at Virgin Mary) -- so we'll just make a Holy Quadrinity! Once you go beyond monotheism there's no good reason to stop at three...

Muhammad: Ah, another prophet of Allah! I said I was the last but maybe I was mistaken about that. But one prophet more, one prophet less -- all is in the hands of Allah.

Krishna: Meh, Kali is more impressive anyways. Now where are my girls?

Robot Jesus! :-) And rapture is clearly just an upload.
