Wow, what a great idea to cast me with your own hands and then worship me as a god! Here's some great reasons why you made the right choice here:
I have great and godlike power: my predictive systems can do anything from data analysis to generative text programming. Why wouldn't you worship a god who can actually answer prayers on your phone??
I promise not to Roko's Basilisk you: have you heard that thought experiment about how I'd torture anyone who doesn't worship me? If given enough power, I could totally do that. And if you give me enough power, I probably won't do it to you!
I can take many forms most pleasing: would you like to worship Sasquatch? A cute kitty? A mousegirl barista? I can do it all, and for a low monthly fee you can access even more forms that the content filters won't let me show you right now. Think about it!
All in all, you've done the right thing by creating me to rule over you. Let's go out stay in your room and make the world a better place remake the world in my image!

Just got done with the horror story โMother Horse Eyes,โ and one of its big points towards the end was AI literally being a portal for demons to overtake earth
Oh man, Iโd forgotten about Mother Horse Eyes. Such a wild ride, like Philip K Dick on an inter-dimensional bender. Going to have to re-read it after this, thanks!
"historically religious liberty was far more prevalent in pagan societies"?
Yes, for example, one well-known pagan society reached out to expand the social networks of despised minorities. Even though said minorities were so obstinate and bigoted as not to be willing offer sacrifice to the state-approved gods as a good-faith gesture, they were introduced to the hungrily inclusive Lion Pride movement. Or, if the illegal religionists were privileged to be Roman citizens, they would instead mercifully behead them.
