It's transhumanism.
It's a religious movement at it's core. It's not even a new idea, these concepts like gnostic dualism were rejected by early Christians.
I don't personally think humans are capable of living without religion. Even non religious people typically choose a god to lord over them, whether it be money, fame, status, etc.
Transhumanists, like gnostic dualists, go down a narcissistic road where they attempt to be their own god. Their mind is divine and separate from their body. Anything they think is real even if it is absurdly counter to obvious physical realities.
These types of belief systems are especially troubling when you consider the exponentially fast advancements in AI/VR/AR and tech like neuralink. If they align their delusional beliefs into those technologies I think it takes society and the human race into a very dark weird place.
