New age movements became dominant in the 1980’s with a focus on developing spirituality through its belief systems. However, these movements are not as organised as mainstream religions which can ultimately affect the life span of the movement. New age movements often spread and collect members through popular media sources and seminars which make individuals aware of the belief system. An example of a New Age movement is paganism, which enables members to get taught guidelines as a group or individually on how they can develop their spirituality further.
