Life reform movements with Anti-modernism Worldview and the desire for natural healing
After the enlightenment, the secularization, the crumbling of old, the industrial revolution and the emerging of new structures created the Life Reform Movements with the Anti-modernism Worldviews. Among the Anti-modernism movements there were several new life reform movements which formed lay associations like the Naked movement, the Vegetarianism, the Anti-alcoholism movement, the Garden-city movement with ecological agriculture, the New religious movements (i.e. Free Pentecostal churches, Jehovah’s witness), the Occult Worldview (which included occultism, astrology and Anthroposophy), the Anti-Semitism, racism and many more.[i]
