This person is a Christian, rather than the atheist he thinks he is.
Yeah, totally. Apart from little details such as
whether he expects “God” to judge him on the basis of character, actions, religious affiliation, etc.
whether he thinks “God” is an authority on (or indeed the ultimate source of) moral values
whether he believes that “Christ” has died and been raised from the dead
whether he sees the Christian scriptures as authoritative, inspired, etc.
whether he regards “God” as (at least) a person with preferences, opinions, the possibility of interpersonal interaction, etc.
I think there’s a reasonable case to be made that some people think about the Singularity in quasi-religious terms. But this sort of ridiculous overstatement does no one any favours.
