Because of this, Silicon Valley is one of the most influential places in the world. Unfortunately, there is a division between Silicon Valley and the Christian Church causing the Church to have less of a voice in this influential area. This division can be seen in the fact that less than half of the people of Silicon Valley are Christian. This project will explore the causes of this division. One of the main causes is that Silicon Valley’s political and religious views vary greatly from many of those in the Christian Church, leading to misunderstanding and resentment between the two groups. This project will explore these differences, and how the Church can begin to resolve them. This project will also investigate how Christians can prevent technological developments, such as artificial intelligence, from contributing to this division. By assessing the individual causes of this division, this project will show how the Church can begin the process of reconciliation with Silicon Valley.en-USChristianitySilicon ValleyReconciliationTechnologyPolitical views2018 Sophomore Research ConferenceWorking Paper
