| 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.
