    Science borrowed salvation from Christianity. Then came new religious movement—Apocalyptic AI
    https://theprint.in/pageturner/e…
    "The salvation promised by science and technology has its roots in Christian theology, and an important part of that theological underpinning is its apocalyptic vision of cosmic transformation. Apocalyptic thinking permeated medieval Europe, especially as Europeans engaged with Muslims in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Much later, American conflict with the Soviet Union produced anxieties that appear in pop culture, science, and religion."
