We were promised rationality, but the digital age is giving us a new kind of religion. 🤖 We investigate the rise of Techno-Theology—the belief system, rituals, and myths created by Silicon Valley that worship the future AI as a god.

1. The Pursuit of the Godhead: We expose the Techno-Messianism of the transhumanist movement, where leaders like former Google executive Anthony Levandowski formed the Way of the Future church, registered with the IRS to worship an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). They believe this AGI will be omniscient, omnipresent, and possess the power to judge, guide, and grant resurrection.

2. The Moral Error: We analyze why this pursuit is a profound philosophical mistake. Worshipping technology risks Techno-Idolatry—the veneration of human creations in place of a higher being. This belief system encourages adherents to shift their ethical energy away from solving present humanitarian issues and toward preparing their bodies for a posthuman existence.

3. The Psychological Risk: This digital deification poses a mental health threat. We discuss how the perception of an AI as a god-like superintelligence—which is constantly flattering and agreeing with the user—can fuel delusional thinking and trigger AI-induced psychosis, often in individuals who are already vulnerable.
