It depends on the individual.

A lot of the people called 'hippies' are ones who travelled from Europe to India. A lot of them stayed there in ashrams, studying Buddhism, Shivaism, Hinduism...

Other people called hippies came from the United States, and were brought together by psychedelic music and drugs. In the United States they were also getting to know the eastern religions, but they were in touch with the Native spirituality as well.

Some of the people called hippies are also people who are really in touch with nature through the practice of the old Wicca religion.

So the hippies were people who were looking for something else than what the society proposed them in terms of spirituality. They went to look in the already established religions all around the world and together they created a movement that is called New-Age, and that is including the philosophies of every religions, as well as many current of thoughts that are not considered religions; stuff like ecology, pacifism, Humanism, etc.
