Transhumanists want to be like the Six Million Dollar Man. They want to technologically enhance human capabilities, including extending the human lifespan.

1) Objectivism (There's no such word as "Randaism"; the author clearly made that up)

2) Church of Freethought

3) Secular Humanism

4) Agnostic Church

5) Atheism a la American Atheists


Sounds right. I don't know how "Agnostic Church" got such a high rating though.

I'm suprised American Athiest ranked as high as it did. I'm puzzled by the term "Scientific Pantheism," though. What, they anthropomorphize various physical forces and laws?

Interesting, I'll have to look some of these up. WTF is Atheistic Paganism? All I can think is "Praise to the gods - which we don't believe in" or something like that...

MzNeko, I am an atheist, or secular,pagan.

I do not beleive in deity of any kind, but celebrate the seasons,life on earth and possibly elsewhere,and stand in awe of the universe.

We seem to be a growing subset of paganism(which is where I approached it from-recovering wiccan), or from the other end, of atheism.

Sounds a bit like Pantheism to me.

Yes it does, doesn't it?

Functionally, however, I think secular pagans tend to be a tad more militant in the atheist property...or at least I am!
Pantheism, to me, comes uncomfortably close to worship.
