Yes, whereas Christianity is narrow/closed minded, prejudiced,
conservative,
self-righteous -- generally cult like.
It definitely shows more of the above frail human attributes.
The good thing about the New Age is that it takes in the broader
information
available to us as humans which is necessary to fully understand creation.

This is pretty close to the truth.

If God is consciousness and we humans also possess consciousness then how
much more personal can God be? He's inside us.
That's far more personal than the Christian idea.
The only human like gods were the ETs that came to our planet many
millennia
ago and declared themselves God(s) or were just believed to be Gods, but
they sure didn't create the universe. Actually those gods are mostly what
the Bible is about.
As for pantheism, Christianity contains that too.
Christianity teaches that God is everywhere. That's pantheism.

Correction, we are all aspects of God. Christians always get this part
wrong.
No one is exclusively God.
Until you study metaphysics you will never understand how this can be.
