Not
one of which, to the best of my knowledge, includes the Truth that Jesus taught a Doctrine of 'Rebirth' and that Mohammed was Elijah and John the Baptist 'raised from the dead'.

Well, for me, there is a much more immediate problem: At this very moment there are probably tens of millions of Fundamentalist Christians in the United States foaming at the mouth for a military attack by the Israel and/or the United States against Iran.
Why?
Because they 'think' they will be 'Raptured' if such a war breaks out.
Because they 'think' that they will never have to suffer the consequences of such a war.
And that religious belief makes them recklessly irresponsible.
They simply do not care about a war breaking out.
Rather, they desire that with all their heart because they 'think' that they will be 'going home' as a consequence.
Never mind that the origin of this false doctrine is the contradiction of the Teaching of Jesus on the "resurrection".

Well, how many millions have been slaughtered as a result of "New Age" beliefs?

Not when someone's belief 'justifies' the slaughter of millions upon millions of others because they are "goyim", or "heretics" or "infidels".
