The only way for Christians to face this crisis is to change their bible (again).
But the curve is moving up for Islam, YAAAY ! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/articl...Islam.html Even though I want to see conversions on a higher scale (i.e not just women,but all society portions), but this is a good start ! maybe a good change for the typical image of muslim women yaay ! #Note : I know that I look like a dick after writing this ; but I just wanted to try the Christian's method in writing religious comments.. Propaganda RULES !! RE: the vatican's losing the war and they know it

Catholicism got Tony Blair - aren't the Catholics lucky. I find the women's reasons for converting very interesting, though. People aren't just turning to Islam to find meaning, however. Wicca is one example of an alternative path. Wicca Fast Growing Religion Quote:The American Religious Identification Survey gives Wicca an average annual growth of 143% for the period 1990 to 2001 (from 8,000 to 134,000 - U.S. data / similar for Canada & Australia).[3][28] According to The Statesman Anne Elizabeth Wynn claims "The two most recent American Religious Identification Surveys declare Wicca, one form of paganism, as the fastest growing spiritual identification in America".[29] The "Free Press Release Distribution Service" claims Wicca is one of the fastest growing religions in the United States as well.[30] Wicca which is largely a Pagan religion is primarily attracting the followers of nature based religions in the Southern United States which is contributing towards its growth.[31] Wicca and other forms of paganism have a lot of followers in the UK as well.

Wicca originates from England to begin with, it's officially the only religion to have originated from England. It was made up, literally made for real, by a retired school teacher in the 1950s.
If you were to say to a Wiccan "Your religion is man made!" or "There's no historical evidence of any kind!" and they can simply just say "We know!". There's nothing you even say about this. I think it's a good religion for anyone who doesn't really give much of a shit.

Many women are drawn to Wicca because it has a Goddess and many Wiccans have carers. It's not like career women go for Islam while Wicca gets housewives and women in ordinary lines of work.

I never heard about this religion, but I get the point : ) It's the need for a reason beyond this life. I really feel bad for women, for some reason I feel that they don't belong in this world, or simply : they are the most brutalized & ignored minority throughout history. I mean, I always feel that the society (even western societies) are built to satisfy men before women. RE: the vatican's losing the war and they know it

There is also the point that religious ritual is very attractive. It isn't enough that there is community but that the ritual that binds the community may be at work here.
I personally like "Wicca" as it is comforting, homey, kitchen table (female orientated), and strives for balance in all things. You can be in a group or solo and no one is out to "de-convert" anyone... a bit like Zen (the religious philosophy, not the person) Is following the paths set out by nature such a horrible thing?? Personally I find it fascinating For those who wish to explore.... "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." G'Kar-B5

Funny how they are based on a Middle Eastern religion that seems to have "converted" the planet over to it's thinking and is now quibbling about WHICH version is the correct one.
