I've known a few neo-pagans of a couple different stripes - most of them seem to believe in an unbroken line of "secret" paganism and get their information from DJ Conway or Robert Graves, not by studying historical sources.
I'm sure there are a few druids (or other pagans) well-versed in the actual history of their chosen religion, just as there's a group in every "woo" area that has a somewhat educated grasp on themselves, but I've yet to encounter one.
But hey, I understand the attraction. Like Eddie Izzard said about the pagans - "They were into sex, death and religion, in an interesting night-time telly type of way."
I also seem to remember some podcast or radio talk show mentioning that Britian had a large number of Jedi roaming its population. Once Lucas dies, that'll become the next officially recognized religion.
