In Britain: Paganism is top choice for Christians who convert to a ‘new faith’

Paganism is the most popular spiritual destination for British Christians who convert to another faith, outstripping Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism, a study has found. Religious faith is “fragmenting” in the UK as more than one in ten people who abandon Christianity in Britain take up paganism, wicca or another form of “spiritualism”, according to the report. While Christianity is still gaining new adherents, these arrivals are outnumbered by people quitting the faith, figures showed. This is leading Christianity to dwindle in Britain overall, casting doubt on recent reports suggesting that a revival may be underway.
