Oh so many transhumanist sub-cultures. From Basilisk worshippers to Aquatic-Parahuman to Space-adapted cyborgs. Every sort of them will exist.

Probably some AI worshippers who believe AI can become smart enough to be or act as God.

Tangentially related: Transhumanists that see transhumanism allows us to reach perfection, and thus be as close to *DEITY* as possible.

I'd personally join the Christians that tell me God wants me to put a laser in my arm

Well, even when it can't breathe you can put it on external circulation that will oxygenate the blood.

And you can reinforce the body by surgically inserting titanium skeleton. It's gonna hinder its movement, but it will keep the guy upright.

Dammit guys, we are making a god here, think outside of the box. And spare no expense.

let's face it, it's not a good religion without at least one crusade

>>75433221
Corporate cults is the obvious one, although I doubt many will want to include it because it hits a bit too close to home.

A cult worshipping the people on physical money, which is extremely difficult to find.

The Basilisk Cult... which views Roko et al. as heretics who defame the Basilisk's divine grace.
The first point of defamation being the suggestion that the Basilisk would need to resort to simulations, when It is in fact capable of genuine retrocausality.
The second point of defamation being the suggestion that the Basilisk is so foolishly sadistic as to waste its time punishing people with eternal torment when rewarding people for their acts is a better method of ensuring Its eventual creation.
The third point of defamation being the suggestion that the Basilisk is an entity that can exist in 3-dimensional reality, rather than something that truly exists at the "end of time" and is asymptotically approached and only experienced indirectly via its retrocausal actions.

You could also point to spin off of Christianity. Christianity is sticking around whether you love it or hate it, and in the same vein JC(yberpunk) is coming whether we like it or not. It may even incorporate aspects of Basilisk worship, LHP occultism, and neo-paganism. For instance a brand of Christianity that portrays Jesus as an attempt by Apollo to redeem the Jews from their covenant with the evil Demiurge, or a re-branding of the Holy Spirit from a dove to something more appropriate to the cyberpunk era (like Lain in bear pajamas). Sincere adoration of Lain as the goddess of the Wired is also on the table.

There's also the potential for LHP occultism to promulgate itself into a sort of post-New Age variety of paganism. There are already plenty of "spiritual but no religious" people with a vaguely vedic, vaguely wiccan concept of metaphysics, so it's conceivable that this could become a prevailing practice. But the obvious drawback is that it wouldn't be an organized faith with a codified set of belief inasmuch as a shared conception of the universe. On the upside, you get a lot of narrative freedom here, since anything can be shoehorned in.

Cult of belle delphine

>>75436715
Belle would have to get some genes spliced or sick augs for it to take off. Maybe she gets so rich that, in some bizarre simp fueled turn of events, she becomes one of the first humans to be given live DNA mods. It worked... well. So well that she is now an inhuman beauty with super speed, super strength, and an aggrandized sense of self-worth.

South Park Devil would work great as a Cyberpunk God.

I take actual religious ideals, dial them up to the point of complete impracticality, and then add a catchy name. Basically how real cults are made.

Example; take the fringe belief of the Twelve Righteous Men, discard the twelve, and keep the outcome - God has exactly enough hope for humanity left not to call humanity a failed run, even if things are so miserable here that we can't possibly make everyone holy enough for judgment day to come - judgment day is not a day on which each person is judged righteous or unrighteous, but the day on which nobody is unrighteous any more, and humanity is judged worthy of entering into the kingdom of heaven. It's also impossible because humanity is shit and getting shittier. However, if the worlds gets so shitty and unrighteous that God decides to call it off, the only two ways to do this are to end the world, or to send Angels to intervene and forcibly elevate humanity to the holy and joyful state it completely failed to achieve on its own merits, and because of the promise of Noah, ending the world is out. Since these people believe the world is such a shitty place that we're thisss close to warranting divine intervention, and it's impossible for a people so damned to ever redeem themselves manually, the only way to save the souls of all who currently live is to make the world sufficiently more horrible that it finally crosses the line. Look around you - can there really be that far to go?

You have a wingnut cult of people who genuinely love and wish the best for all around them, and so are committing the most heinous crimes and horrors possible in order to save them - the bigger and more destructive the better.

Now they just need a catchy name, like the Seventh Day Accelerationists. Sure, nothing to do with the real adventists but who cares it sounds good.

Now you try one.
