'''Dataism''' is a modern worldview that interprets reality, organisms, society, and value through data processing, information flow, and computational networks.

== Overview ==

Dataism is usually discussed as a contemporary ideology or quasi-religious worldview rather than a formal religion. It gives central importance to data, information processing, networks, and the free movement of information. Some writers describe it critically as a possible successor to humanist or theistic meaning systems. On Wikitheism, it belongs with modern worldviews because it can function religiously for some people by providing ultimate values, a story of progress, and a vision of salvation through information.

== Key beliefs ==

* Reality can be interpreted as flows of information and data processing
* Biological and social systems may be described as algorithms or networks
* Free circulation of information is often treated as a central value
* Human experience may be subordinated to system-level data efficiency in some interpretations
* Critics argue that Dataism can devalue privacy, embodiment, and human judgment

== Practices ==

* Data collection and self-quantification
* Open information activism in some circles
* Use of dashboards and analytics for self-understanding
* Speculative writing about networks and intelligence
* Ethical debate about privacy, surveillance, and algorithmic power

== Places of worship ==

* No standard place of worship
* Online networks
* Academic or technology communities
* Personal quantified-self workspace

== Sacred texts ==

* Contemporary writings on big data
* Technology philosophy essays
* Critiques of algorithmic society
* Personal analytics and quantified-self records

== Holidays and observances ==

* No universal holidays
* Open data events
* Technology and privacy awareness days
* Community-defined observances

== Branches and related traditions ==

* [[Kopimism]] - A modern movement that treats copying and information sharing as sacred.
* [[Algorithmic Spirituality]] - A related digital meaning-making category.
* [[Technotheism]] - A broader category for technology-centered religious interpretation.
