New Age movement
Where each worldview places it
"A creation of Freemasonry", a worldwide movement for one-world government under a religious leader. It "writes God out of the picture and deifies Lucifer" and is "really Mystery Babylon"[1]. "It really isn't the new age, it's the old age ... brought to you by the same people" who produced Nazism[2].
