If artificial intelligence is a religion, it is the only religion with a plausible mechanism of action. Building something that is more powerful and intelligent than any human does not look to violate any law of physics; calling such a thing a god does not make it any less possible. We have proof it can exist (as humans are just machines). Both the top AI companies in the world (Deepmind and OpenAI) explicitly are trying to build AGI; The fact that it can be built and people desire to build it makes informed speculation about it useful.
