i agree that its silly how anciet practices are labeled new age by fundamentalistswho dont understand anything but the bible
although maybe that is what god wants
but to clarify on amen, unless this is wrong
in Hebrew ( the Bible's original language ) the word "amen" means something like "so be it." It does not mean "hidden" like the Egyptian deity "Amen." It is pronounced differently from the name of the Egyptian deity. And the two words don't actually bear any similarity to eachother in spelling nor are they linguistically related.
