Abstract. The article reveals the notions "trans-humanism", "trans-human", "epoch of singularity", "digital immortality", "religiosity" in the light of trans-humanism. The basic provisions of trans-humanism are analysed from the viewpoint of the religious component. Recently, the trans-humanistic society proposes foundational alternatives aimed to replace the existing conceptions in the sphere of philosophy, religion and politics. Only "digitalized" "trans-humans" possessing occult syncretic knowledge become entitled to live in new reality.
