You don't notice the rapture of the nerds themes in 'the singularity'? Or the 'god like powers' themes of the singularity? That is totally a religious pattern

  Yep I see them there. But does that really have any bearing on the likely hood of it being true? Religion encompasses our greatest desires so if technology becomes sufficiently powerful wouldn't the fulfillment of those desires be a likely result? Is there a danger that some people's thinking could be influenced by their desire for it to happen? Of course. But I think that just as many people are likely to dismiss it for irrational reasons as well. That is why it is important for people to keep their eye on the real science.
