I’m talking about a computer or some kind of self aware thinking machine that has a limitless memory, has the ability to sort through these memories at an incredible speed and has the all knowing sensory perception of a god.

That's crazy, Q&A Queen. You think it would worship us as its creator even though its intellect to ours would be like comparing an elephant to a mouse? I don't think you thought out your answer.

I think it depends on how you define God to the computer.
If you define God as the creator that gives life, then the computer would consider its programmers and builders God, and so would be a theist.
If, on the other hand, you define God as an omnipotent supernatural being who can suspend natural laws on a whim, then the computer would be an atheist, being bound by the laws of logic.

Simple. A theist. A super computer would be smart enough to know that it had to have a creator. That it's parts just didn't suddenly come together of their own volition.

Well sheesh. Cut a girl some slack. When I said I was perfect, I LIED. Seriously. No I didn't give the answer enough thought.
A short answer: It would be an atheist and you know why? Because worship comes from the heart and said computer would not have one.
A longer answer: I'm thinking that since this computer doesn't exist and never will, the point is moot. I can envision amazing leaps and bounds in the world of technology but a computer will never have emotions. It will never love. It will never know sacrifice. All things things are attributable to a living being, not a machine no matter how extraordinary it is.

An atheist, of course. The logical nature of a computer would know that the supernatural is illogical and thus, there would be no god belief.

It would believe what it was programmed to believe. Humans cannot make a machine with free-will

It would be smart enough to avoid all things about gods or goddesses, because it would be able to make no sense of them.

A true AI would expect you to worship it as your deity.
