Robotology is a fictional religion in the animated TV series Futurama. It is principly practiced by robots and is not considered a mainstream religion like Voodoo or Oprahism. It has a strong evangelical Christian flavor, with fire and brimstone sermons, prayer before meals (conducted partially in spoken binary), and baptismal ceremonies to induct new adherents. New believers are baptized in high viscosity baptismal oil, and the symbol of Robotology is welded to their case. This symbol, a vertical zigzag line with a circle on each end, is the 20th century electrical symbol for a resistor. It is more than a symbol, however, it is also a signalling device of some kind, summoning the Robot Devil when removed, and/or perhaps when the wearer sins.

The holy text of Robotology is an electronic text file, currently The Good Book 3.0. A possible author or contributor may be the prophet Jerematic.

Among the beliefs of Robotology are that robots should abstain from wicked and immoral behaviors such as smoking, pornography, stealing, abusing electricity, and drinking. Consuming alcohol is usually necessary to power a robot's fuel cells, but apparently mineral oil is an acceptable substitute, if less fun to imbibe. Like in Christian theology, sinners are punished by condemnation to Robot Hell, while the virtuous or believing are rewarded with Robot Heaven. However, literal-minded robots, not content with the metaphysical conception of Hell, have constructed an actual Robot Hell in the state of New New Jersey, under a thousand year old abandoned amusement park. Robot Hell has at least five levels, and as it is a real, physical place, it is possible to escape it. For information about smoking tobacco, see tobacco smoking. ... Pornography (from Greek πορνογραφία pornographia — literally writing about or drawings of harlots) (also informally referred to as porn, porno, and more recently, pr0n) is the representation of the human body or human sexual behaviour with the goal of sexual arousal, similar to, but (according to some) distinct from, erotica. ...

Robot Hell is ruled by the Robot Devil, Beelzebot, who takes delight in thinking up ironic tortures for his victims, not least of which is the introductory up-beat singing and dancing that greets truly major sinners like Bender. The Robot Devil is assisted by many lesser robot demons, some of which can fly. Beelzebot is bound by the Fairness In Hell Act of 2275, requiring that anyone who can defeat him in a fiddle contest wins a solid gold fiddle and may go free. (See The Devil Went Down to Georgia.) Losers only get a smaller silver fiddle, and the Robot Devil may kill them at his discretion. The date of the act implies that Robotology may have existed for some 800 years by the time of the show, the year 3000.
