The question is, Was Arthur C. Clarke really an atheist?

The answer is No. He believed in God more than most, so much he saw the connection between biological life, machine existence—such as robotics, UFOs, and AI—and thought anything higher is surely God; that while God created us, our purpose here is not only to worship Him, but create Him.

This resonates with the Human Singularity, or as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin calls it, the Omega Point.

You won’t even need to pack your bags, this time. My prediction, though, is if you don’t want to be a part of it, you don’t have to. If you do, then you’re halfway there, and most of the time that’s all it takes.
