Survey Reveals Americans’ Feelings about Wicca

This week, my friends at the Barna Group released the finding of the largest study to date on Americans' feelings about Wicca, America's most popular form of witchcraft. Here's a short quote:

As Americans make lifestyle transitions needed to restore the nation to stability, the nation’s adults are demonstrating their willingness to accept religious perspectives and groups that conflict with some of their core beliefs and lifestyle practices. A new national survey conducted by The Barna Group shows that while many adults are not familiar with Wicca, nearly half of the adult population has reserved having an opinion on that religious group even though its best-known practices directly contradict the religious faith that they personally embrace.

This study hits so much of what my coauthored book Generation Hex discusses from both research and personal encounters with those involved in Wicca.

If you're one of the 55% of Americans who have never heard of Wicca or are among the many others who know little about it, check out Generation Hex. It's a short read that will challenge your faith in a whole new way.
