I’m am worried though… mate. I reject your premise. You’ve done nothing to support it. All you’ve shared is a YouTube video. That’s not supporting evidence. Said another way: You’ve not answered the question put to you, three times now. You’re evading. Here it is again, for convenience: What is the evidence validating this premise that paganism is supposedly growing? What is the data source? If you drill down into their sources, after you get to the Daily Mail, it then brings you finally a page for something called Quartz. That Quartz page cites a Pew study from 2014… I.e. the same one you already cited above.

Sometimes INow can be a pompous ass, but most of the time he's bang on the money with his reasoning, and has a low threshold for suffering fools. Sorry, I could only reverse one of the three neg reps. Is it just me, or does anyone else see an incongruence between the recent technology of the internet having spawned an interest in our ancestral ties to nature that is classified as paganism ?

I know I didn’t make the charges, and reported them to the card issuer. They investigated, and refunded the money. And I said waiter, not bartender. It was at a restaurant. —- “There has still to this day not been a report of a single real-world crime that an RFID blocking product would have stopped.” https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/are-rfid-blocking-products-worth-your-money-we-asked-an-expert/ —- I just read that zero liability is now US federal law. Not sure when that was enacted. Also, RFID transactions are encrypted, so you’d need to use your skimmed info quickly, or the code wouldn’t be correct. Right. Which is why a method that doesn’t require you to hand over your card to someone was developed.

Could it be that watching naked girls dance around a bonfire is more fun than listening to a preacher tell you how badly you are going to burn in hell if you don't stop watching naked girls dance around a fire?

This has the whiff of copy and paste about it. Do you have a link to what it's from?

YOU created an account here. YOU created this thread. YOU authored the thread Title which explicitly claims that paganism is on the rise YOU shared the video. The video makes claims which were questioned. The onus falls to YOU to support them when asked / challenged. Are you unwilling, unable, or just here in bad faith to spam a video? Oh, well now that you put it that way, I’m totally convinced. Gosh and golly. Why didn’t you just say so? Is this just because population as a whole is increasing thus total number of pagans is rising, or has the percentage of our overall population self-identifying as pagan gone up? If the total number on net is higher, but the per capita percentage has dropped, then saying it’s on the rise is a misdirection. I saw the article you googled and was hoping for something more recent than a decade ago. But that responsibility belongs to the OP, not me.

! Moderator Note We don't review videos. If you want to discuss the rise of paganism, we can do it without padding the views on a YT video. Videos are notoriously difficult to discuss scientifically in a forum like this, and nobody has the time to watch and try to catch all the inconsistencies. If you're only here to support the video, I need to close this, but if you're truly interested in discussing the rise of paganism, you need to present your arguments here, and not require that folks watch a video in order to participate. Also, we'll do it civilly or we won't do it at all. We attack ideas here, not people.
