Or perhaps the friends of extropianism might wave it about as an 
example of what extropianism should not become.  It should be about 
what we want to accomplish, not about what we "believe in".  Faith is 
anathema to reason.  Reason is necessary for progress.  The world has 
more than enough religions already.  Why create another one?
