Morality does not exist outside of the conceptional and varies with each individual as its an objective indwelling experience; the question is why does developing life evolve religious behaviors such as faith and ritual? The next question being if our species transitions to synthetic or evolves past matter into the energetic; will this post-humanity life have the same need for ritual or faith? IMO the morality of the post-human is not something mortals can understand - we can only guess at what ethical principals will stand foundational post-singularity.

I cant speak for Aliens but other species on earth also engage in religious behavior. Religious behavior of developing organic evolution appears baked-in; is ritual something inherent to organisms developing on earth? This is why I say one would need to separate themselves from the organic to fully escape naturally occurring ethical and religious evolution.

Humans are unfortunately ritualistic creatures even the anti-deists engage in ritual - humans are hard wired for it.
In my opinion one would need to separate themselves from the organic completely and leave the genetic baggage behind before freeing themselves from human concepts such as religion money and morality.

In my opinion, it’s post-human after any type of augmentation to the brain. Death may not be the most appropriate Termanology here as an individual is not considered clinically dead, until there is no brain activity. No mention of whether or not brain matter is organic or synthetic - if you have a synthetic neurons, you’re obviously alive if you have brain activity, you’re just not human anymore.
