Without God, humanity is but an insignificant speck of matter in the vast sea of the universe. Since so much more of the universe is non-human than human, the relative importance of Man is infinitesimely small. And so Nature is now the centre, man just an insignificant part. We are revaluing nature and devaluing humanity. And much to modern man's surprise, we now see the rise of true neo-paganism in Western culture.
Spirituality is back on the agenda.
The New Age claims to be the next evolutionary step in religion. Superior to Christianity. The next stage in humanity's spiritual evolution. In reality, New Age religion is just one of the inferior religions that Christianity replaced in the first place, trying to make a comeback. Religion that the Ephesians practised before they believed in Christ, and which they were tempted to go back to.
