Nier: Automata
Determination: Ambient — Denial 1
Machines who read the Bible name themselves Adam and Eve; another group invents a religion and calls death “becoming as gods” — borrowed framing, no engagement with the faith itself.
In a war between androids and alien-built machines, one machine reads humanity's archives, including the Bible, and names himself Adam and his brother Eve. After Eve is killed, a separate machine community claims to have found God, believes the dead become gods, and turns on the player mid-chant. Its philosophical cast is otherwise named for Pascal, Sartre, and Nietzsche.
