The Moonies are not a new movement. They have a long and troubling history in Korea, Japan, and the US. I highly recommend Falling Out for anyone interested in learning more about the cult.
I know they’re not new; that’s just what they’re classified as on Wikipedia. It is “new” compared to Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. The distinction is that the Unification Church came about within the last 75 years, and so is not one of the “old” religious movements.
One of my favorite scary facts about the moonies that I don’t see talked about much is that a couple of the founders sons had a falling out with the church, and went and started their own, even crazier church. They made the news a few years back doing some rifle blessings and some kind of mass wedding ceremony (also with rifles)
