Religious beliefs will be programmed just as they are in most
humans. Richard


What about non-religious beliefs in humans and robots. Are they
programmed or not?


Not, by and large. Most human non-religious beliefs are based on
experience. Most important is the belief that you can accomplish
what you plan or predict that you can do. Driving drunk is an
example. You predict that you are capable of driving and also believe
that you will not get caught. A better example of prediction and
control is downhill skiing. Recently a Swiss friend who grew up
skiing and believed he could handle any slope, ran into a tree and is
now a vegtable. Religious beliefs are much more abstract and less
life threatening for most of us. Richard

What about beliefs in some metaphysical entities like for example superstrings? Or in multverse?

Or in the sun, or the moon. Machines will believe the same kind of hypotheses we do, if their goal consists in satifying themselves. But man made machine are slaves at the start, and will not be encouraged to develop their own motivations, a bit like children in authoritative countries.
