How many people in the United States, or World, follow the spiritual beliefs of Paganism?

Question

I am writing a research paper on paganism and i would like to know how many followers that Paganism has.

Answer 1

The numbers I've seen bantered about run around 100,000-300,000, but those are pretty much guesstimates. There's, unfortunately, no real solid number, since there's no single governing body for Paganism.

Answer 2

Last # I saw for Pagans in the US was approx 150,000. But, there are a lot of us Solitary Pagans out here that aren't counted as well. I'd say the # is larger than what they can give because of that. As for the World, well, the general, accepted, definition of Pagan is anyone who isn't a Jew/Christian/Muslim... still not a very large # compared to those 3 huh?

Answer 3

Less than 1% in the US, but most of China could be described as Pagan.

Answer 4

my teacher told me that every Communist is a pagan so count Cuba, China and all the other countries.
Isn't Halloween pagan??
because everybody in US celebrate Halloween

Answer 5

Nature Religion was the first religion. And many are going back to it because it is very important.
Nevertheless, we need to glorify the Creator, not the creation.
The Book talks about those who prostitute themselves wth every spirit. Do they realize they are creating all kinds of karma for
themselves by messing with other forms of life?
Are they showing respect to the creatures of Earth, or
enslaving themselves to them? To scared to wake up
in the morning without "appeasing" the spirits?
THINK ABOUT IT!

Answer 6

Depending on who you ask, not enough or too many. I'd say that it's rising from what I've seen in my daily life.
