Is New Age Metaphysics a Religion?

We are the students circled around the towering statue. Each instructed to paint a picture of our impression of the statue. Each painting from their own view point. (front -back-side-top-bottom-middle) Each different in it's perspective. Each of the same ONE statue.

Over the years I think this is the best depiction of humanity relationship to God/Source, that I've yet to hear. Note I use the term Source. Just like he view we have of the statue which is different from each perspective,so is what we call it; be that difference from language, perception, or word by which to recognize. "A rose is still a rose by another name" Many years ago when attending a weekly meeting with a group of New Agers I asked if we could begin referring to God as Source or Oneness. There was only one person that balked, and wouldn't you know, that was the group leader. Please understand I was not being disrespectful nor denying God, which is what most of us called the supreme being. The suggestion was made because I began to see a change taking place in our group and the new age community, with people respecting beliefs of others. Many groups consisted of varying religious doctrines which joined in their oneness as humanity respecting their differences.
