The thing is though, each such “mark of the beast”, gets incrementally closer to what the evangelicals warn about.

Except eternal damnation, allegiance with a supernatural being, lakes of fire, etc.

I'm going to be pretty pissed if the world lets itself get trapped into a technodystopian hellscape just because they didn't want to admit that those darned Christians over there got even a bit of something correct and therefore we gotta super duper virtue signal against that by slapping the shackles on as quickly as possible. What a dumb way to go that would be.

IME Christianity is as worthless as a broken clock and only correct half as often. Its foundations are so flawed I hesitate to give any credit when they stumble into a correct answer, just as I dislike giving credit to a dice roll.
Worse, acknowledging even an accidental good tends to encourage lazy thinking and reinforce a very harmful system.
And calling them out every time someone tries to throw them a bone doesn't take away from the bad elsewhere -- such as VC grifting shit coins and their panopticon dreams.
