a Discourse of New-Age Crypto Cults

This rise of consumerism also allowed humanity to seek fulfillment through possessions and experiences rather than through spiritual practices. Capitalism, in some sense, became the new belief system, with the promise of progress, growth, and individual achievement supplanting the communal, sacrificial tenets of most traditional religions.
