As with any purely ideological they/we are very diverse. Some are nihilistic as depicted by the faith based ideologue. Many are absurdist, having concluded a meaningless existence yet striving to alter the existence as reasoned plausible. Others are deeply existential and as you depict are devoid of pessimism, seeing a path of "progress" that is evolutionary but now intentional.

As the OP depicts, some lack imagination and strive to create a low resolution continuation of consciousness. Thinking in black and white of "only"s.

Others are severely limited in their capacity of understanding the machinery of biology thinking that the binary procedural upload of themselves, would necessarily be a computational continuation of the computers that bring us together here today.

Others recognize significant variations and degrees of synthesis. Computation that is quantum based, parallel, biological, fractal, or any number of potential avenues that render us substrate independent. The mere externalization of thought that lasts longer than the original thinker is a life extension technology.

The critical technology to shift us away from binaries and limited frames of mind will be brain to computer information transfer technology.

I am using it now with a keyboard but we are quickly learning to read the mind and reduce the lag time of thought transference. That is typing/writing to reading, or speaking to hearing, or drawing visuals to eyes such as paintings or memes. Brain to computer to brain. It will enable us to coordinate discovery and research. Analyze with hypersubjectivity. Develop with the expertise of all that participate, focused on multiple tasks. Bearing human knowledge with higher fidelity than ever before.

This scares some, and is totally alien to others. Some may see it as competing with god. I assure you it doesn't matter. "progress" is inevitable. Technology is the very thing you run on, techne-logia. art/Craft-divined/word
