The [[pseudoscientific [[transhumanism]] movement which desires to transcend being human through technology and become posthuman in order achieve immortality has its roots in an atheistic/secular humanism worldview. The [[atheism|atheist]], [[evolution]]ist and [[eugenics|eugenicist]] [[Julian Huxley]] coined the term transhumanism.<ref>[http://www.nickbostrom.com/papers/history.pdf A HISTORY OF TRANSHUMANIST THOUGHT, Nick Bostrom, Faculty of Philosophy, Oxford University]</ref>
Julian Huxley wrote:
The human species can, if it wishes, transcend itself – not just sporadically, an individual here in
one way, an individual there in another way – but in its entirety, as humanity. We need a name for this new belief. Perhaps transhumanism will serve: man remaining man, but transcending himself, by
realizing new possibilities of and for his human nature.<ref>[http://www.nickbostrom.com/papers/history.pdf A HISTORY OF TRANSHUMANIST THOUGHT, Nick Bostrom, Faculty of Philosophy, Oxford University]</ref>}}
