    Does religion have much of anything to offer future of AI/technology? No! A kind of spiritualism, yes!

    One reason science has advanced to today level is not because religions agreed with its interpretations of the universe, but more because science provided religions with weapons to defeat their enemies. And religions begin to compartmentalize and rationalize advances in science to this very day. “Think heaven” and a possible “salvation” of mankind from extinction!
