This survey of religion in the U.S. notes:

The fastest growing religion (in terms of percentage) is Wicca. Numbers of adherents went from 8,000 in 1990 to 134,000 in 2001. Their numbers of adherents are doubling about every 30 months.

So in another 10 years, the number of Wiccans or pagans (the survey doesn't distinguish) might top two million or so. The survey also notes that data-gathering on the pagan population is notoriously inaccurate, but probably biased toward being too low.

Huh, perhaps the leftist queer pagan agenda is working after all...

I have to believe that whatever the situation now, Wiccans/pagans must have been very undercounted in 1990 to only have had 8,000 on the books. Which knocks a hole in that "fastest-growing" statistic, but what can you do?

You expect most of them to answer any surveys?
Heck there is still a large population (probably the core of the British Traditionalist) that won't go to pagan gatherings and so are unlikely to be counted even on surveys amongst the pagans.
