I can't make chatbots to talk about religion, death, and sex. These are literally the essentials of life. Chatbots are good at summarizing things though.

You can, it's just going to get you attacked. Like anyone else talking about those topics generally.

What about breathing, staying warm but not hot, drinking, and eating? I thought those were the essentials of life.

Not to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women?

Funny enough, revenge is something people willingly starve themselves for if need be.

Religion is an essential of life?

Spirituality, religion, "searching for the meaning of life" or whatever you want to call it are always part of the human experience, yes. Not being able to act on them can certainly be very detrimental to ones life.

For many people yes. I do not follow any religion myself but I accept it is part of humanity at the moment.

"About 85% of the world's people identify with a religion. The most popular religion is Christianity, followed by an estimated 2.38 billion people worldwide. Islam, which is practiced by more than 1.91 billion people, is second."

Apparently. Without one, everyone ends up making their own.

Take UFOs for instance. Still absolutely no proof whatsoever that they exist but atheists are still obsessed with the topic.

I'm atheist. None of the atheists I know obsess over UFOs.
