Survey Claims Wicca to Be “Unfavored” In America
In accordance to a survey published on Monday many Americans claim that they haven’t ever heard of the religion Wicca before, although many experts claim that it is currently the fastest growing in the US. The Barna Group states that over half of Americans, nearly 55%, don’t know of Wicca and that of those who are familiar with the religious group, most do not support the faith.
Residents of both the South and the Midwest were the most likely to be unfavorable or even against the Wiccan faith. 67% of Christians and 61% socio-political conservatives were the two groups most likely to be unfavorable toward the religion.
Members tend to believe strongly in karma, reincarnation, initiation rites, and worship gods and goddesses found in nature, and do not follow any form of morality.” According to one of the interviewed participants of the survey.
The continuously growing religious movement tends to be more popular among younger participants, they are very intrigued by witchcraft as well as the idea of nature being worshiped. Says The Barna Group.
Even though its popularity is increasing, a limited number of people claim to be Wiccan. Over 4,200 adults were interviewed in 2008 to discover that Wiccans currently represent approximately 0.1% of all American adults meaning that only 250,000 adults of 230,000,000 claim to be a part of the Wiccan faith.
