Gnosticism is the power behind all non-monotheistic faiths, like Buddhism, Hinduism, animistic religions, ancestor worship, etc. It is also beginning to corrode the monotheistic faiths (Christianity, Judaism and Islam) from the inside. Gnosticism flips the story of who is good and bad and turns the story upside down. In Christianity, God (Yahweh) is the bad guy, Lucifer (the light-bringer) is the good guy. Eventually the common idea among them all is that good and evil alike must be accepted and integrated into our lives.

Just the kind of lie you might expect from a serpent....
