I see very little indication of what the OP talks about in the mainstream religious communities of my country. Americans (by and large) are infatuated with technology and consuming it, in part because they've been manipulated into that attitude through capitalism, marketing, and cultural upbringing. All the while, the costs of that affluence are downplayed or ignored.
As for me? I would hardly say I have a fear of technology or of sciences. I love the sciences as a way of knowing, as I love the arts. Technology, however, I frequently despise, but only because humans have proven themselves incapable of doing anything other than abusing it. This view is a distinct minority, even within the nature-centered and animistic Pagan community. Still, it is not fear. It is sheer hatred. How anyone could not hate the means that engineered a sixth mass extinction and a geologic legacy of trash and garbage is honestly beyond my comprehension.
