From 13, 16, 18 we know this person was involved in a spiritual or religious movement.

Would this movement be classified as part of Christianity?

Huh, that’s a possibility I hadn’t considered. In addition to the occultist/psychic stuff I also wondered if it’s a scam artist or con man.

I'm stuck so I might as well throw my best guess out there: Jack Haldane, biologist, atheist, and neo-Darwinist.
