For me new ageism, is like conspiracy theorists, evidence of partial thinking.
A conspiracy nut discovers there is no god looking after him, so when stuff goes wrong presumes it must be caused by something bad wishing to harm him. Similarly the magic of the church is proved not to work, but rather than rejecting magic the new ageist looks for magic that will work.

Welcome by the way.
