Based on nothing but my opinion and 48 years of observation …

Some white people adopt aspects of Native American and Eastern religions because of the novelty, because those practices seem closer to nature and/or because they’ve become alienated from their own religious tradition and are seeking to fill the void. You might understand if you spent 12 years in Sunday school hearing a starched church matron explain how followers of all those ‘other’ religions were going to hell.
