Well I've never heard of a religious person claiming AI could have a soul in the religious sense, and "soul" has other meanings than the religiously literal one, so yes?
Well how many and what difference sorts of religious people have you come across?
People hear "religious" and seem equate it with "Abrahamic malarkey it isn't couth to call folks on."
"Religiously literal" seems a contradiction of terms a well. There is truth and there is ways to understand and to convey that truth.
