An interesting perspective to ponder about: Are the posthuman & transhumanist movements the new belief-systems for scientific-mindsetted non-believers?

Where lies that fine line between religion, belief, speculation & reality, naive optimism & depressive realism? How does our cultural heritage influence this reversal from past to future?

And also a link to the free scifi ebook on this topic.

The zealous fury for the posthuman future comes from the same human structures as the ones that provide the clothing (often religious) for immortalism, eternalism, inevitable progression and utopia. Whatever, it is ideologically awful in its priestly encouragement for people to avoid engagement in the political realities of today.
