Phineas Quimby had no "religious" ideas and spoke out against religious beliefs and opinions all throughout his writings.

"New Thought describes a set of religious ideas that developed in the United States during the late 19th century, originating with Phineas Parkhurst Quimby..."

Phineas Quimby had nothing to do with developing any religious ideas at all. He actually opposed all formal "religion" and clearly claimed that religious beliefs and opinions are at the core of what make people sick.

Dr. Quimby was not, and did not want to be, affiliated with any religion.

[edit] Animism

Isn't this belief system similar to animism? Badagnani 09:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

No Its completely different, read them both again.

[edit] See Also Nonexistant articles

To me, there is no point in directing the reader to See Also articles that do not exist. I am inclind to remove the three "red" links. Thoughts? --Mikebrand 04:37, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this page should be merged with the New Thought Movement page, although I hope the result is not a link farm. Also, I would suggest using the description from the New Thought Movement page about it being "inspired by the philosophy of Phineas Quimby" rather than originating with him.
