1Co_2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Most, I think see it as the finance and the business and the city life.
But I also see that it has aspects like the humanism and the various new age type religion that all try to find commonality etc., and even a universal consciousness which many might esteem as God.

I believe the Christian faith is at difference with all that, claiming that our faith is set apart from all that, having definition.
I has to be like that as it's a quality of life found no where else.

This is a part of the spirit of the world, but above and beyond that the spirit of the world teaches people to (1) be self-centered, (2) make material possessions, power, and hedonism the primary goals in life, and (3) disregard God and the afterlife. In brief Humanism.
