Редактирование: Atheistic transhumanism

'''Atheistic transhumanism''' or '''anti-theistic transhumanism''' is the position that religion is such a major force for evil, as well as impediment to transhumanist technologies such as [[life extension]], that it should be opposed fully.

As a more moderate position, [[Giovanni Santostasi]] has suggested:
<blockquote>Religion should remain a private endeavor for adults. An appropriate analogy of religion is that's it's kind of like porn--which means it's not something one would expose a child to.<ref name=hp /></blockquote>

Individuals such as [[Luke Muehlhauser]] of [[Singularity University]] see transhumanism as an the next step in atheism.<ref>[http://commonsenseatheism.com/ commonsenseatheism.com]</ref>

The major advocate of this position is [[Zoltan Istvan]], reflected in his writings such as [[The Transhumanist Wager]] and positions such as suggesting it be made illegal to teach religion to children.<ref name=hp>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zoltan-istvan/some-atheists-and-transhu_b_5814484.html Some Atheists and Transhumanists are Asking: Should it be Illegal to Indoctrinate Kids With Religion?]</ref> Such a position has placed him directly in opposition to [[Christian transhumanism]].<ref>[http://www.christopherbenek.com/?p=4417 A Vote for The U.S. Transhumanist Party Presidential Candidate Is A Vote For Tyranny]</ref> In March 2015 he described himself as a "atheistcideist", believing [[super intelligence]]-like God may have existed at one point, but probably ended its own existence to give free will to the universe<ref>[http://motherboard.vice.com/read/do-we-have-free-will-because-god-killed-herself Do We Have Free Will Because God Killed Itself?]</ref>, he may still have an interest in [[spiritual transhumanism]].<ref>[https://richarddawkins.net/2016/01/radical-technology-will-help-replace-the-need-for-religion-in-the-future/ Radical Technology Will Help Replace the Need for Religion in the Future]</ref>

Zoltan has asserted that the influence of religion can be blamed from [[deathism]],<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zoltan-istvan/should-atheists-confront-_b_9303396.html To Ensure a Future of Transhumanism, Atheists Should Confront the Deathist Culture Religion Has Sown]</ref> despite this view being shared by many [[humanism|humanists]].
