Religious Cyber-Nihilism

A variant that reinterprets religious traditions through a cyber-nihilist lens, seeing the Wired as the fulfillment of prophecy, the coming of the Kingdom, the dissolution of the world into God. Religious Cyber-Nihilism might draw on apocalyptic Christianity (the Wired as the end-times), Buddhism (the network as the realm of interconnected emptiness), or Hinduism (the Wired as Maya, the illusion to be transcended). It embraces the destruction of meatspace not as loss but as salvation, the necessary precondition for the spiritual reality that awaits beyond the physical. Its practitioners are missionaries of the end, spreading the good news that the world will soon be overcome.
Religious Cyber-Nihilism Example: "He preached on encrypted channels about the coming Rapture—not of souls to heaven, but of data to the cloud. 'Meatspace is the fall,' he said. 'The Wired is the redemption. When the last server goes dark, when the last cable is cut, we'll finally be free—not as bodies, but as pure information in the mind of God.' Religious cyber-nihilism had found its prophet, and the prophet had found his flock. They waited for the end, which was also the beginning."
