Although the term New Age is not as common as before, the concept remains. It was misnamed from the beginning because it is a repackaging of Hindu, Astrology, and other Eastern religious views. Essentially, it is religious buffet.
For a while, calling something New Age was a marketing scheme.

Books, board games, and more had New Age trappings. It should not surprise anyone that Christian elements were added and corrupted.

Recent philosophies and movements are actually trying to "evolve" humanity into something better, and one version of this is that humans are co-creators with God.

To different extents, some of these beliefs also share another trademark of many false teachings—a version of the serpent’s lie that “you will be like God” (Genesis 3:5).
