The page for Machine Worship is rather vague and combines multiple concepts in its description and examples.
The description mainly focuses on Transhumanism, with a few lines about praying to robots and AI, and doesn't give any specific description other than characters worshipping machines.
The examples use several often overlapping but distinct interpretations of what machine worship means including:
Characters who belong to a primitive society who encounter high technology and worship it believing it to be the work of a supernatural being, which belongs more under Cargo Cult.
Characters who belong to a primitive society who worship an AI as a god not knowing it's manmade.
Characters who worship a self aware omnipotent AI knowing fully that it's artificial.
Characters who worship Magitek devices with a real connection to a supernatural power.
Characters who worship the concept of technology and believe the act of engineering to hold spiritual significance.
