Will Digital Immortality Replace Religion?
Abstract
In this article, I show why the Christian faith, which is, among other
things, a response to the need for life’s meaning and an anticipation
of eternal life, will not become superfluous in case digital
immortality is achieved. I also deepen a view that emerges from
this debate, which is the view of both Christian religion and
transhumanism as promises of happiness. I argue that they differ
from each other in that Christian religion, unlike transhumanism,
requires everybody to commit themselves to moral growth.
