The New Age, especially the bullshit put forward by Deepak Chopra is highly, highly popular. It's a million dollar industry which is trying to revive ''faith healing, astrology, etc''. These beliefs are just as, if not more irrational than organised religion, they're not organised beliefs, they're highly individualistic beliefs, but the level of irrationality isn't going away.
Religion isn't declining, it's just changing.

yeah, you understand alright.

Go get some science training before you spout noise about your "religion" as better than their religions. My sect of atheists is just as the definition describes. We do not subscribe to "our belief is better than their belief." But we do think Using the scientific method is a better process to form a belief. That is the claim.
