[extropy-chat] Re: Athiesm in decline

[Emlyn]

I don't know what Dirk has in mind specifically, but here's a
good/funny site about categorizing religions...

http://www.galactic-guide.com/articles/2R10.html

Extropians would be categorised as 04T-3A1C, Transhumanists as
04S-1B1C. Note that I've used the Atheist's category for afterlife "no
one goes anywhere", but there probably needs to be another entry
instead for "no one dies, but if they do then they go nowhere". Also,
both groups truly meet online I reckon.

Not that I think Extropy or Transhumanism are religions ;-)
