I’m not so sure about the religious tendencies, at least not in comparison to other communities or social movements. Especially if the people who seem to be most interested in AI alignment are the ones least interested in tithing/special diets .Also roughly half the people who are seen as leaders don’t identify as effective altruist. It would be hard to imagine leaders in the environmentalism movement not describing themselves as environmentalists.
