The rise in the occult as a religion has infused leftist ideology, and it’s growing at the expense of Christianity.
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) As children, we were told that witches weren’t real; they were merely the villains in many a fairytale and easily defeated by the good, kind, and true heroes of the stories. As we grew, we learned there were in fact people out there who claimed to be witches, but they weren’t all that bad. Now, as adults, we see the plethora of occult paraphernalia that has flooded the marketplace of ideas and commerce. Neopaganism and New Age are trying to supplant Christianity in America.
According to a Pew Research study, the rise in unaffiliated non-Christian faiths in the United States grew by 6.7% between 2007 and 2014. Nearly 23% of respondents identified as atheist, agnostic, or “nothing in particular.” Of those who identified as “nothing in particular,” almost 7% said religion was important to them. The reality is that man was meant to worship something. It’s just how we’re wired. As Christian apologist G.K. Chesterton once said, “When men stop believing in God they don’t believe in nothing; they believe in anything.” Neopaganism and New Age are seducing religious seekers in their search for answers to life’s deepest questions.
