We already have radical greens espousing the end of civilization and 
"back to nature".
Of course they use the internet to organize and communicate their "ism".
http://www.greenanarchy.org  is one I check out every year or 2.

However there is perhaps room for some combination of fundamentalists
of various religeons reacting to AI, Total Information Awareness , human 
bioengineering
that endangers the fundamentals of older "theisms" to form a new
Anti-Technology Theism.   Of course this would accomplish one good thing
that is uniting diverse religeons  into one theism instead of always 
fighting each other
over who is more "right with god".

Perhaps the religeous Armageddon and Christ and Anti-christ might be 
portrayed by theisits
as development of a religeous "god's AI"  set out to destroy all other 
Heathen AI's.????
