I have stated many times that Transhumanism is a religion that is in direct competition with Biblical Christianity. For instance, both promise immortality and omniscience. These are very desirable things to possess.
Yet, you don’t see waves of people embracing Christianity in the same way that they are embracing Transhumanism. Let’s explore this.
A prominent German theologian and good friend of mine, Dr. Martin Erdmann, has had a lot to say about this very topic.
The statement that transhumanism is part of a religious worldview cannot be denied and is also readily admitted by its more resolute adherents. In an interview with Los Angeles Weekly, Natasha Vita-More and Max More spoke of transhumanism as part of a belief system. Both are staunch transhumanists, Max More is a leading figure in the "extropian" branch of the transhumanist movement. More states that the first principle of extropianism, which he defines as "Perpetual Progress," involves the "pursuit of greater intelligence, wisdom, and effectiveness, an unlimited life span, and the elimination of political, cultural, biological, and psychological limits to self-realization." Transhumanism is "the constant overcoming of limitations that impede our progress and possibilities, expansion into the universe, and progress without end."
