1399 THE TECH GODS: AI, IMMORTALITY & THE DEATH OF RELIGION

Silicon Valley once promised better technology. Now its high priests promise immortality, artificial consciousness and human-machine transcendence. Richard welcomes Dr. Steve McVey to ask whether AI is becoming a synthetic spiritual authority, whether a soul can be uploaded, and whether humanity is approaching an awakening—or constructing a counterfeit religion. GUEST: Dr. Steve McVey is a bestselling author, theologian and provocative voice exploring the intersection of spirituality, consciousness, neuroscience and quantum thought. He has authored more than two dozen books, including Grace Walk, Beyond an Angry God, Quantum Life: The Kingdom of God Is Within You, 52 Lies Heard in Church Every Sunday, The Secret of Grace, Anchored, Helping Others Overcome Addiction and The Grace Walk Experience. Known for challenging conventional religious paradigms, McVey explores Christian mysticism, non-duality, consciousness, neuroplasticity and the convergence of ancient spiritual wisdom with emerging ideas about the nature of reality. His work raises provocative questions about identity, God, human consciousness and whether today's technological quest for transcendence represents genuine human progress, or a dangerous imitation of something humanity once understood as spiritual.
