As recognised as any religion is! The UK's official religion is Anglican, but the country is a democracy, so all other religions are tolerated, be they different Christian denominations or other religions completely- Catholicism, Non-Conformism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Bhuddism, Sikhism and all the rest. Wicca is recognised as being a harmless and positive faith by most intelligent people, but the less intelligent and more fundamentalist elements of the Christian and Islamic faiths see it as sinful and evil, and synonymous with Devil-worship, which of course it is not. Pagans are accepted by mainstream society, but can face persecution by elements within the Christian and Muslim churches.

Is paganism a recognized religion?
The status of any religion in terms of recognition will vary between cultures and nations. What is a recognised faith in one area might be rejected in another. In the case of paganism, an additional problem is that there is no one 'pagan' religion. Paganism as an umbrella term includes a wide range of different beliefs and practices. For example, Wicca is considered to be a pagan religion (or 'neo-pagan', as is sometimes preferred), but so is Asatru* - yet the two religions have relatively little in common. As well, there is the question of what qualifies as a 'recognised' religion. In some countries, there is an 'official' religion which is asserted to be that of the country as a whole. In many western nations, as here in the UK, there is no specific list of 'recognised' religions (although in the case of the UK, Anglican Christianity must be considered 'official' in one sense, since traditionally there are Anglican bishops sitting in the House of Lords). But anti-discrimination legislation in the UK tends to describe religion as a whole concept rather than list specific faiths. No doubt there are areas where paganism is recognised, others where it is not, and many where no specific 'recognised' status is necessary for a religion. --- * Although practitioners of Asatru generally prefer the term 'heathen' to that of 'pagan'.
