Humanity Transfigured

The Mormon Transhumanist Association promotes abundant flourishing through the compassionate use of science and technology.

We explore the intersection of science, technology, and religion. We believe that human ingenuity is essential for positive outcomes (both for us and the biosphere), that the learning that comes from this process is necessary for our exaltation, and that the religious impulse is a core part of humanity that should be leveraged for good. Our Affirmation lists additional beliefs.

We meet together, hold conferences, and promote awareness of these topics. We also foster dialog between people of diverse backgrounds. We seek to persuade secular people that religion and science are not mutually exclusive, and to persuade religious people that science and technology are essential aspects of the divine. We encourage both of these audiences to engage with the world more wholeheartedly.

Portrait of Jaxon Washburn
Encountering Mormon Transhumanism has only empowered and encouraged me in my Mormon faith, helping reveal not just its practical utility, but its transcendent radiance in illuminating potential futures to be made real as co-creators with God. By bringing religion from the theoretical to the material, I have found in Mormon Transhumanism fertile space through which to understand and apply the Restored Gospel in a world struggling to find tangible solutions to transcendent questions.
