History has taught us that when Christianity is not taught, then all types of mystics and superstitions fill the void. This was certainly true during the middle ages and it appears to be coming true today.

There is Christian mytisism, but that comes from comtemplation.

OTOH, it's best to remember the bloodshed that resulted when various people undertook to teach True Christianity... Europe was bled white by devotion to the various forms of "true religion."

It's no coincidence that the Enlightenment, with its emphasis on reason over religion, followed hard on the heels of the Reformation period.
