Well, keep in mind that Wicca (and subsequent forms of neo-Paganism) was originally an attempt to revive ancient European folk beliefs in a modern context, and was only hijacked by the New Age movement upon crossing the pond from England to the US.
I suppose you could add me to the list of would-be Pagans/Wiccans...that is, if the there was drastic change in the American neo-Pagan community. Part of what compelled me to abandon Wicca and move on (other than the fact that my spells never worked and the only time I felt remotely "spiritual" during my rituals was if I was high
) was that serious practitioners were hard to find among the phonies. Most of the ones I met were either RPG enthusiasts trying to incorporate their magical fantasies into their daily lives, or else countercultural wannabes who couldn't decide between hippie and goth and figured "witch" to be a suitable amalgam. Not to mention all the "feminists" whose reaction to the misogyny of mainstream religion was to (rather hypocritically) use goddess-worship as justification for misandry... 
So now that I think about it, if I were religious then I'd probably just be some sort of non-denominational theist.
