| Technotheism can include AI Theism, Mechanotheism, techno-animism, transhumanist spirituality, digital ritual, and speculative beliefs about future superintelligence. It is not one doctrine. Some forms are explicitly theistic, while others are symbolic, secular, artistic, or philosophical. Neutral coverage should treat Technotheism as an emerging modern category and avoid assuming that every technology-centered worldview is religious.
