The oldest praying automaton we know of is from the 16th Century. This is basically that but with more capitalism.

I can't help but notice how captured the Christian mind is, when even the return of the Savior is a business opportunity; a revenue stream. These people are already robots who can't worship without a prospectus and a spread sheet.

That thing would make me want to start praying if it's very existence didn't prove that there was no god.
