Why do some religious people fear artificial general intelligence?

The basic idea behind AGI research, is that biological brains are already an empirical example of general intelligence [See Wikipedia/general intelligence], that nature has produced, and ai researchers seek to replicate this already existent type of intelligence, in the form of human level artificial intelligence, also called artificial general intelligence.

Typically, we find that religious people fear artificial intelligence, labeling it as the "mark of the beast".
