8 Religious Tradition in the Current Atmosphere of New Age Thinking
by Lex Hixon
Religious traditions, in all of their cultural and philosophical richness, and inclusive of both their excellences and their errors, act as the stable spiritual diet for a greater percentage of the world's people. And while there are many who turn away from what they offer, there are also those who would do away with them completely, opting instead for a world of no religion or an ideal based on a single religion for all.
