• “The United States Census Bureau’s American Community Survey found 342,000 Wiccans and 340,000 Pagans in the United States in 2008.” (American Religious Identification Survey, Trinity College, 2013 
  “We conclude that the best estimate we can make, based on inadequate hard data, is that the number of Wiccan [i.e. Pagan] adults in the U.S. had increased from  602,000 in 2008 to two million by the end of 2015. If one were to include teens, which religious surveys generally don’t, we estimate over three million Wiccan [i.e. Pagan] practitioners were active in the U.S. by mid-2018!” – ReligiousTolerance.org
  So, at three million practitioners in 2018, modern Paganism (including Wicca) is now the second-largest religion in America after Christianity (70.6 million in 2014, dropping by one percentage point per year), and the fastest growing in terms of percentage! By comparison, in 2014, there were 1.9 million Jews, 0.9 million Muslims, 0.7 million Buddhists, and 0.4 million Hindus in the US.
