Sure Mick, you can go to New Orleans. I'll go with you. Keep this in mind when you are putting together your travel plans:
The fastest growing religion in the United States (in terms of percentage) is Wicca -- a Neopagan religion that is sometimes referred to as Witchcraft. Numbers of adherents went from 8,000 in 1990 to 134,000 in 2001. Their numbers of adherents are doubling about every 30 months. 4,5 Wiccans in Australia have a very similar growth pattern, from fewer than 2,000 in 1996 to 9,000 in 2001. 10 In Canada, Wiccans and other Neopagans showed the greatest percentage growth of any faith group. They totaled 21,080 members in 1991, an increase of 281% when compared with 1990.
When you consider that stat you should also keep in mind that the fastest shrinking religion in the US is Christianity...losing about 10% of it's followers between 1990 and 2001...and I'm sure that number has gone way up since the Catholic church scandals among other things...
