Редактирование: Criticism of transhumanism (раздел)

== The view that transhumanism is a religion in disguise ==
''Main: [[Transhumanism as a religion]]''

Some critics point out that there are similarities between transhumanism and religion:

* Both talk about the potential for human transcendence
* Both claim to provide insight about fundamental purpose
* Both can inspire a sense of loyalty and excitement that leaves careful rationality behind.

In view of these parallels, some critics assert that transhumanism is inherently suspect. Transhumanists are said to give uncritical credence to various "core texts" or "messianic leaders".

However, every philosophy under the sun has its share of uncritical adherents. That, by itself, is no reason to reject the philosophy.
