Burning Man and the Religion of the Coming Global Age
AT A GLANCE
• Burning Man is described as a religious event.
• However, the religion being celebrated is by no means Christianity.
• Paganism and spirituality rule the day at Burning Man.
• It is not hyperbole to say that demonic influences are present.
BLACK ROCK CITY, NEV. — Twelve hours into what should have been a two-hour drive through the Nevada desert, we finally reached the entrance to Black Rock City. A voice greeted us with two words: “Welcome home.”
