Wicca is the fastest growing religion in America. not Christianity, not Islam, not Judaism. the number of Wiccans in America doubles every 18 months. this is because more and more people are choosing to disassociate themselves with the religion of their parents. this is because most people were raised to believe in religions that are highly hypocritical, sexist and extremely intolerant.America is supposed to be a country were everyone'spersonal beliefs and life-style choices are recognized and respected. but most of the main-stream religions (namely Christianity) are putting it into people's heads that if someone is even slightly different from them, then they should be shunned and even tortured into repentance or killed. that is why Wicca is the religion that is getting the most recognition, acceptance and affiliates. Wicca does not discriminate. Wicca celebrates the differences in everyone. it is the onlyreligion that allows a person to be themselves. homosexuals, transgendered individuals and people from literally all walks of life are more than welcome into the Wiccan faith. this is why Wicca is the fastest growing religion in America. it is also because (unlike the main-stream religions) women are not made to be subservient to men. femininity is completely equal to masculinity in Wicca. this is why more and more people are changing their affiliations to Wicca.
