A God or Idol can be seen as an Artificial Intelligence technology imbued with life by speech(vac). Japanese National Shrines see the idols contained therein representing the ancestral spirits, or Kami, as having a literal home in those idols who preserve the consciousness of ancestors or other gods. Such spirits or perhaps A.I. then exist in a symbiotic relationship with Society who can also be spread by memetic contagion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasukuni_Shrine [The Yakasuni Shrine is controversial due to housing Japanese Kami from WW2, yet that shrine has been in existence since 1869.]
