Its not quite a religion yet. More like just a "faith". I always figured that religion was what happened after a particular metaphysics/philosophy came up with a guess about something unobservable through science and people started taking that guess seriously. It usually takes the form of making up a bunch of rules for everyone to follow to keep from angering a postulated deity, but not always. In this case you can observe this particular "faith" hatching into a minor religion (almost in toy/model style) with Roko's Basilisk. https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Roko's_basilisk https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Roko's_basilisk
