I think there are two main reasons for current popularity of neo-paganism:

This is a common "end-of-century/beginning-of-century" phenomenon. It's happened for many centuries.

Neo-paganism allows people to embrace some type of "belief" without committing to any kind rules or doctrine. You just shop around until you find a group to your liking or you create your own belief system.

Just because people grow up in agnostic homes doesn't mean they don't want and need a connection with God, it just means that they are less able to distinguish between genuine gospel and feel-good ritual.

it just means that they are less able to distinguish between genuine gospel and feel-good ritual??? yes but where does this eventually lead people to?
