Редактирование: Transhumanism as a religion (раздел)

== The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods ==
''Example: "ideas about the relationship between science and religion"''
=== God ===

Belief in a god or the supernatural is not inherently required by transhumanism, a position very strongly held by many [[atheistic transhumanism|atheistic transhumanists]], some of whom argue transhumanism is, or should be inherently atheistic. However there are a number of [[religious transhumanism|religious groups]] involved in transhumanism such as the [[Christian Transhumanist Association]] and [[Mormon Transhumanist Association]]. So what does this mean?

=== Spiritualism ===
Although not all transhumanists believe in a higher power, many individuals and some groups within the movement as a whole may take alternative positions. An increasing number of people describe themselves as  [[spiritual transhumanism|spiritual but not religious]] and would not full under this definition. [[Buddhist transhumanism]] is arguable more spiritual than religious.

Individuals such as [[Ben Goertzel]] have expressed an interest in [[panpsychism]]. There may be other such positions within the community.

=== Postsecularism ===
[[Postsecularism]] is sometimes used as a descriptor of the movement to describe the complex convergence of these views as applied to the movement.<ref>[http://lincoln.metacannon.net/2014/09/transhumanism-is-not-atheism-and-is.html Transhumanism is not Atheism and is often Misrecognized Religion]</ref>
