ViewsCumbey oered the rst major criticism of the New Age movement from aChristian perspective in The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow: The New AgeMovement and Our Coming Age of Barbarism (1983), but quickly lost academiccredibility due to her promotion of conspiracy theories linking the New Agemovement to Benjamin Creme, theosophy and Nazism.[1] Scholar of New Agereligion James R. Lewis describes this book as containing "a few few insightfulcriticisms with many accusations of the least responsible sort", and that she is"simply lumping together anything that departs from a rather strict interpretationof Christianity." Cumbey's accusations include that the New Age movement has"inltrated all of Christianity, as well as Judaism", and that it is the motivatingforce behind ecumenism, holistic health centers, New Thought, humanisticpsychology, Montessori schools, modernism, secular humanism, and zeropopulation growth. She states that Unitarian churches and health food storesbecome "New Age recruiting centers", that the Guardian Angels become one ofthe New Age movement's paramilitary organizations and that "the New AgeMovement has complete identity with the programs of Hitler".[2] Her contention isthat the New Age movement is not simply expressing a naive or unscripturalinterest in metaphysics, but that it is an organized conspiracy overthrow theUnited States and replace it with a Nazi-like regime.[3]Cumbey is harshly critical of all religions other than Christianity and Judaism, andthose who take an interest in them.[4]

While there are certain supercial similarities among most religions,orthodox Judaism and Christianity stand in direct opposition to everyother belief system. It is safe to say, however, that nearly all non-Judeo-Christian religions are extremely similar because, as the Bible indicates,they come from one source, the 'god of this world'Satan himself

In the wake of the attacks following the release of The Innocence of Muslims shesuggested on her blog that the incident might have been a deliberate attempt byNew Agers to set their enemies against one each other.

I have my own suspicions that this is an incited thing that is designed toset the three Alice Bailey delineated fundamentalist target groups ofJews, Christians, and Moslems o against each other. I have even uglierfeelings that it was cynically produced and put in circulation with justthat sort of "kill-o Monotheism" war... I suspect this may be adeliberate and well-nanced move to incite the target groups againsteach other
