The human mind’s ability and innate desire to justify and explain the world and its phenomena has led to some of the most significant and world-altering discoveries and inventions, illustrated throughout the renaissance, enlightenment, scientific revolution, and industrial revolution.

It was found that despite the good intentions of such ‘spiritualties‘ and the idea that they were in touch with ‘the divine’, that in fact they are deeply involved with neoliberalism and ‘big business’. Many, also lacked a transformative element, or the possibility of a significant change in participants’ lifestyles or fundamental behaviour patterns. Neither did they conform to the definition of religion as chosen, however they may do so to another definition, such as Gilmores, who thinks that “contemporary tensions between “organised religion” and “DIY spirituality” may be productively framed in terms of on-going and dialogic exchanges between the individual and the collective, inspiration, and intuition, spontaneity, prophecy and tradition.” Nevertheless, their existence does not favour the view that such small groups constitute religion in a new form, or support the view that religion in contemporary consumer society has been
