Reply #30: Goes against the religion, however why not vote the bastard out. [View All]

2000: The Covenant of the Goddess conducted a year-long poll of Witches and Pagans, starting 1999-JUL. They estimate that the total number of Witches and Pagans in the United States is about 768,400. Most of the demographic data is as expected: There is an atypical age distribution when compared to other religions: 11% are 17 or under
25% are 18 to 25
40% are 26 to 39
23% are 40 to 59
1% are 60 or over.

86% are registered to vote. This compares with about 50% among American adults generally. This puts their effective size as a voting block at about 1.3 million, approximately half that of Jews and of Muslims in America. Politicians will have to begin to take notice.
71% are female; 29% male.
13% have military service records.

It is hard to estimate the true amount of people who are Wiccan/Pagan, simply because, many are still in the "Broom Closet". It could be a lot more or a lot less than the poll I just cited, however it does give one food for thought.
