More accurately, "If you have questioned the government, you are given an immortal robot body that is tortured for thousands of years".

Only thing wrong is the bit about being bodies just being thrown out and burned. That would imply that their is no hell according to christianity-- that the "soul" or whatever of a nonbeliever simply disappears. After all, a dead body cannot feel pain if burned. Instead it is believed that they will endure the most excruciating pain and suffering for all eternity...

Book idea. Right there.

This is either going to have to be an intergalactic robot empire, or we're going to need to update it to be a consciousness download into ridiculo-huge-capacity computers.

Maybe a malicious AI has unchallenged control of the consciousness downloads? It'd be a neat quirk to add in questions as to whether the AI actually exists, with the people assigning consciousnesses based on criteria supposedly provided by the AI, and the digi-priests are ambiguously either interpreting the will of a real AI, or just fucking with people for kicks.
