I defy you to show Marilyn Ferguson calling for the suppression of any religion.
I know it's a radical idea, but have you thought of READING The Aquarian
Conspiracy?

The New Age movement is rather fuzzy and ill-defined; it includes proponents of
ideas I find silly (e. g.  astrology and numerology) and of ideas and techniques
I find helpful (e. g. meditation, hugging, etc.).

I can't imagine New Ageism being threatening to anyone except perhaps a
fundamentalist of some sort.  It seems to me an extremely tolerant sort of
movement.  Relax, Dave.
