On religious beliefs as private property

"Its belief that all traditions are free for anyone to use, rather than the private property of particular communities, has resulted in New Agers adopting and marketing the practices of other societies."

The only source for the idea that particular communities hold 'private property' of religious beliefs seems to come from the cited essay by Michael York. It's unclear if this framing should be presented by the article as fact or if 'New Agers' actually believe this. Possibly rephrase the article to emphasize that this is the opinion of scholars.

I rewrote the section without the "private property" claims. Most religions recycle ideas from previous religions. --Guy Macon (talk) 16:33, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Rainbow Gathering picture

The Rainbow Gathering picture was removed and then restored - but there are some problems with the picture - it is a personal picture taken by a Misplaced Pages editor, it is not from a reliable source - there is no way to verify that it is a New Age gathering - there is no reference in the article to Rainbow Gathering, so there is no context for the photo, what is a Rainbow Gathering? - I agree that the photo should be removed from the article for lacking a verifiable source per WP:VERIFY - cheers - Epinoia (talk) 18:21, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

There is a correlation between these two terms online, although I could not find a definitive reference that says "Rainbow Gatherings" are "New Age". Misplaced Pages says "New Age beliefs are prevalent" at Rainbow Gatherings but does not provide a reference, typical, they should really do something. I am happy for the photo to stay but can not find a reason why, it's the vibe man. What really is New Age what really is a Rainbow, who can tell. Dushan Jugum (talk) 01:32, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
