Shaktism is woo and so is Taoism.
"I am not like the others". Sam Harris has his pet woo clinging to Buddhism stuff, he has claimed that it isn't about organized religion but "spiritualism", but as smart as he is it is still woo.
I am with Victor Stinger in "The New Atheism" saying that these labels are not universal but our evolution and nature to make up this stuff is. He goes after all the major labels in that book and explains aptly why nature in our mundane psychology, and not woo or a god, allows us to make up stuff, even when it is needless and superfluous.
Our personal pet clubs do not change that we have always had the capability to cling to woo and superstition. We are not a separate species. We've had imaginations from the start of our species and the woo we fall for today is no different.
