Yoga is Demonic? [Spirituality & Religion]

A view held by many conservative Christians is that yoga is "demonic". Without discrediting the argument with the "all religion is fake" counterclaim, can you give your position on the topic and why?

according to certain christians, 80s cartoons and toys were demonic:

Including: She-Ra, He-Man, Thundercats... and this was all before the SJWs went back in time to destroy peoples childhoods and such. 😅

D&D was demonic accoding to some:

And Magic the gathering had to be censored... I mean "excorcised".

And according to some christians Condoms are evil... even when half of the country is HIV-positive.

... So I wouldn't worry to much, neither would I try to understand it. 😅

@Kwek00 I would like to preface what I'm about to say by stating that, though I'm probably the furthest thing from perfect, I am a practicing Christian. With that being said, I do find it hard to support church bodies that both encourage these kinds of things as well as do nothing to change these stances and actions. The fact that some Christians fear certain symbols and numbers is ridiculous to me - why should you fear silly things like symbols or numbers? Doing so gives these things power and focus, whereas if you truly believe in God and have faith in him you have nothing to fear (at least that's my position on it).

@InvictusIndigo That's why I said "some" and "certain"

Look... without wanting to come off as being antagonistic. If you have a bunch of people that believe in things that can't be proven. And these things are being tought by people that have power because their followers trust them. Then why is it so difficult to believe that when these people get even more cwazy in their ideas, that people that are already open to believe a bunch of mumbojombo just follow them some more? They already have given up critical thinking when it comes to what they perceive as "spiritual" matters, why not take the next step? That doesn't mean everyone is going to do it, but in every group there are people that just go a bit further. Look up Jim Jones' his church experiment... he took it too the limit too.

@Kwek00 Just in case, I wanted to make sure that you knew I wasn't trying to disprove or counter your argument and above post - in fact, I agree with you :)

@InvictusIndigo Nan, I didn't feel attacked or annything. I'm just trying to answer your question. And I said that I didn't want to be antagonistic because you indentify as someone that believes in a part of all this. And I'm just really straight forward when it comes to this stuff.

If you have a part of the poppulation, that believes that critical thinking is a bad thing... you are bound to get delusional stuff running wild. This isn't only a religious thing, it happens in political believe systems too.
