tl;dr:

Maus is a Unitarian Universalist, a pluralistic religion that's rooted in the inherent worth of every person. In April, she argued that AI didn't align with her religious beliefs, citing environmental and ethical concerns.

Just so you know which religion to convert to.

Amish or Rastafarian should pass as well.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

Cathar too.

Maybe even jain. But i know too little about ita actual doctrins to say anything specific about it

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

How about Pastafarian though?

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Amish

That was my first thought before even reading! OTOH they would probably oppose working with computers at all?

I mean, hypothetically couldn't you just pick any belief structure outside of the top ten and make shit up? I'm a card carrying member of The Satanic Temple (which also puts an emphasis on human worth and social conscience) and I feel like I could swing this.

Wow, you actually got your card?

They made no promises, but I sent my $20, never saw my card and that's fine.

I think you can literally purchase a membership card on their site if you want.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

I'm sure.

I've known some cool unitarians. The org can collect a lot of upper middle class white people, but it's also the first place I really learned about LGBT rights in the 90s (I'm getting old) and other social justice stuff.

On a tour of our state's gay friendly churches (a work project) I met a unitarian universalist minister who was openly atheist, his congregation had no problem with it. That was a very weird but cool convo.
