Hiding in plain sight: the organizational forms of “unorganized religion”

In this more general sense, scholars tend to characterize new age spirituality in terms of:

1. individualism 2. shopping, spiritual supermarket 3. seeking, and

4. in-built resistance to organization (Hanegraa 2009: 351) or at least to vertical (hierarchical) organization, as opposed to lateral-networked organization (Sutclie 2003a: 224-5).
