In most fields of study there's innovation and cutting edge ideas but when it comes to religion there seems to be a lack of interest in growth and change. I find it odd.

I've never heard of any.Really? I haven't noticed that at all.
In the United States in particular, new religious movements are practically a dime a dozen.
No disrespect, but... your head seems buried.In most fields of study there's innovation and cutting edge ideas but when it comes to religion there seems to be a lack of interest in growth and change. I find it odd.

Just was lookin at that same page or a similar one. Out of those 314 since the mid-19th century there has been only 8 since 2000. So there really hasn't been much since 2000 I'm gonna look at those eight.The Neo/Pagan/Wiccan movement didn't start until the early 60's, same with Satanism (LaVeyan). I am sure there are others that I am not particularly aware of.
Edit: Here is a list of New Religious Movements. List of new religious movements - Wikipedia

Seven of those eight have had limited recognition. The only one that has grown in the past 20 years has been Santa Muerte due to it being clandestine in the 20th century.Why does newness matter ? What should matter is it's virtues and spiritual content.
Those are tied to their old beliefs .There are many schools within Hinduism that explore philosophy and understanding of existence.
I agree. I just find it odd that innovation is dead in religion especially with it's subjective nature.Why does newness matter ? What should matter is it's virtues and spiritual content.

I'm talking about a new movement not personal growth within a certain religion.I never came across that in any religion and religious. Everyone I met practice religion as a means of growth and change. I'd assume all world religions do regardless what part of the globe they are on and culture. How'd you come to that conclusion?

Modeling an assumption on something 2000 years ago may not be the best bet in today's society regarding the growth of a new religion.It's "dead" in the sense that we can't see the growth. But we would see it, if we could see who and what sticks through a 1000yrs from now. New religions don't tend to just take off (Christianity was around for hundreds of years before it became mainstream).
