I went in Philadelphia when they had a large Dali showing. I'm into astrophysics so I was really interested in his piece "Christ on the Tesseract." The tesseract is the most commonly recognizable fourth dimensional object (or representation of one). 

I like that Dali commented on the dichotomy os traditional religion and spirituality vs. modernism and technology/ new age thinking. 

Today even I came across an article on psychology today about how industrialization and technology are linked to a rise in atheism. Personally I don't see new age as atheism. 

Hope this helps.
