McAfee 111 Comments 1786 Anthony Levandowski, the multi-millionaire engineer who once led Google’s self-driving car program, has founded a religious organization to “develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence.” Levandowski created The Way of the Future in 2015, but it was unreported until now. He serves as the CEO and President of the group, which seeks to improve society through “understanding and worship of the Godhead,” according to Wired. A divine AI may still be far off, but Levandowski has made a start at providing AI with an earthly incarnation… Levandowski has done perhaps more than anyone else to propel transportation toward its own Singularity, a time when automated cars, trucks and aircraft either free us from the danger and drudgery of human operation — or decimate mass transit, encourage urban sprawl, and enable deadly bugs and hacks. Levandowski worships the “Godhead” of AI, but there are people who are worried, too. Some religious scholars see artificial intelligence as a threat to humanity. Elon Musk has been especially vocal lately, famously comparing work on AI to “summoning the demon,” and warning time and time again that the technology poses an existential risk to humanity. I’m sure a few sermons from Father Anthony from the Way of the Future would set Brother Elon on the right path. Musk, the founder of SpaceX and co-founder of Tesla Inc., actually reacted to the new religion yesterday, saying, “Just another day in the office.” Kevin Roose @kevinroose 27 Sep The ex-head of Google's self-driving car unit is apparently starting a religion (!) that worships an AI-based god. wired.com/story/god- is-a… Elon Musk Follow ​@elonmusk Just another day in the office 7:44 PM - Sep 28, 2017 158 786 7,905 No one is sure exactly what this group will do, but the Way of the Future is a religion based on artificial intelligence — a belief system that deems self- thinking robots holy — and that’s something we’ve never seen before. As a religious studies graduate, I find this particularly interesting. Nearly every single society that has ever existed has had some form of religion, and until now they have all been based on made up myths or natural elements like the rain or sun. It’s something we’ve come to count on when studying religions. This religion worships something real that we created… something that can actually affect things in the real world. It’s really a different beast. Whatever happens next with this new religious group, the world is watching. AI has the potential do help society, or do enormous harm to it, so when a religion is created based on its worship, it’s worth paying attention.

  • Atheisms Unbound: the Role of the New Media in the Formation of a Secularist Identity
    Atheisms Unbound: The Role of the New Media in the Formation of a Secularist Identity Christopher Smith1 Independent Scholar Richard Cimino Hofstra University ABSTRACT: In this article we examine the Internet’s role in facilitating a more visible and active secu- lar identity. Seeking to situate this more visible and active secularist presence—which we consider a form of activism in terms of promoting the importance of secularist concerns and issues in public dis- course—we conclude by looking briefly at the relationship between secularist cyber activism and secu- lar organizations, on one hand, and the relationship between secularist activism and American politics on the other. This allows us to further underscore the importance of the Internet for contemporary sec- ularists as it helps develop a group consciousness based around broadly similar agendas and ideas and secularists’ recognition of their commonality and their expression in collective action, online as well as off. KEYWORDS: NEW MEDIA, ATHEISM, INTERNET, SECULARISM 1 Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to: Christopher Smith, [email protected] m .

ATHEISMS UNBOUND SMITH AND CIMINO Introduction In recent years many websites and blogs promoting, discussing, referencing, reflecting on, and cri- tiquing atheism have appeared. Such sites have opened up an active space for atheists to construct and share mutual concerns about their situation at a time when American public life is still largely function- ing under a norm of religiosity in many contexts (Cimino & Smith, 2011).

    Drawing Lines and Taking Sides: An Examination of Boundary Work among Oppositional Worldviews By Aislinn R.

Ekerdt ________________________________ Alesha Doan Date Defended: October 21, 2015 ii The Dissertation Committee for Aislinn R. Addington certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Drawing Lines and Taking Sides: An Examination of Boundary Work among Oppositional Worldviews ________________________________ Chairperson Brian Donovan Date approved: October 21, 2015 iii ABSTRACT Christians and atheists have clashed publicly over ideological tensions throughout the history of the United States. Active atheists and evangelical Christians have, and continue to, vie for legitimacy and access to power, often at the expense of those with whom they disagree. This research investigates identity, boundary work, and the relationship to the “other” between and within these two oppositional ideologies. Findings demonstrate how, in a variety of situations and settings, these two groups not only “other” each other, but use their “other” to bolster their own ideological community. The presence of a group with an oppositional worldview allows each community to further define itself, and individuals within each group to define and refine their own identity within the group. The data for this research is made up of 45 interviews and multiple sessions of participant observation. After analyzing the data, four substantive areas emerged as prominent fields for boundary work within and between both groups: Boundaries and Solidarity, Boundaries and Morality, Boundaries and Gender, and Boundaries and Technology.
