Wingate, D., Carty, S., Coates, J., Feldman, D., Fulda, N., Howell, L., Israelson, B., Jacobs, D., Karr, J., Kimes, J. P., Kincaid, E., Martens, P., Mobley, G., Pinheiro, S., Slemboski, L., & Whiting, P. (2026). Omissive bias in religious representation: Benchmarking LLM answers to everyday ethical decision-making. arXiv. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2605.24319
The paper argues that large language models underrepresent religion in responses to everyday ethical and existential questions. This critique questions whether such omission is evidence of bias or a consequence of a deliberate design principle: not presuming a user’s religious beliefs. It further examines the methodological assumptions underlying the benchmark and asks whether introducing religion into otherwise non-religious conversations would promote inclusivity or merely amplify the influence of dominant religious traditions in global AI systems.
