A saviour is a source of faith, which technology cannot provide for us. Instead, as much as technology increases, it is also going to increase the chances that we as the human race obliterate ourselves. What is our species specific good? Cheetahs can run fast, that is their good in nature, the ability to catch their prey and outrun competition. Are we supposed to eventually allow technology to annihilate ourselves? By having a saviour, we vest our faith and beliefs that are inherently instilled in us, to believe in a Higher Being, that will save us from ourselves.
