Religion

Deep down, Technocrats know that they are sending humanity into a gulag of Scientific Dictatorship, and as a result, their conscience is pained. However, instead of turning to orthodox solutions like counseling, ethical discussion or traditional Western religion, they are turning to Eastern mysticism for answers. They get naked, practice mindfulness and chakra meditation, and meet their 'inner net'. 

Scientism is a religion started in the early 1800's by French philosopher Henri de Saint-Simon, who called for a priesthood of engineers and scientists to administrate humanity. Both Technocracy and Transhumanism have deep roots in Scientism, so it isn't surprising to see modern adherents trying to create a godhead out of Artificial Intelligence.

Technocrats view Christianity as ignorant, mythical, superstitious, illogical and even harmful, especially to Technocracy. It is not surprising that in China, Chairman Xi seeks to displace Jesus as the main figure of worship.

Over the millennia, mankind has worshipped the sun, molten and carved idols, other men, animals and rocks; now, AI enters as the latest contender for man's worshipful attention, and it's growing in stature.
