Robot Priests – A Blessing or a Curse for Mankind’s Spirituality?
July 31st, 2020

Have you met Mindar? He, she or it is a remarkable android – a robot priest, reciting sermons and teaching its congregation the basics of Zen Buddhism. Mindar’s electronic skeleton seems out of place against the backdrop of the 400-year-old temple in Kyoto where this work takes place – but Japanese worshipers at the shrine believe it has helped to rekindle an interest in their religion.
Western worshipers and tourists, however, appear to be less keen, and the temple has faced some criticism for the introduction of the technology. Mindar is not the first attempt at a robotic priest, although at a cost of some $1.38m it’s not something which is accessible to many places of worship.
But are robot priests a good thing or a bad thing? And does the answer to that depend upon your faith and your culture?
Pros and Cons of Robotic Priests
At first glance there appear to be many reasons to view robot priests as distasteful or undesirable. For many, their presence violates the sanctity or religion, or even makes a mockery of it. Others accept the basic premise but argue that robots cannot possibly create any meaningful connection with the divine in the way that priests and other clergy do.
