I said "mainstream" because I'm assuming that the statistical good effects from religion require a social infrastructure that neo-paganism doesn't tend to have.
Having been to a pagan convention in San Jose, this seems most likely false. I'd have to attend some local, routine meetups to be sure, but I get the feeling there's an excellent social infrastructure in place.
Mainstream religions have people get together every week, with stuff going on between the major services. I don't know of pagan groups which have that much going on.
If there were pagan groups that have that much going on, would you know about it?
Maybe. Do you know of any?
I am not familiar with any pagan groups at all. I was just wondering how much evidence against a thing existing your non-observance of that thing is.
Fair enough-- I've had some involvement with Neo-pagan groups in Philadelphia and Delaware, though I'm not expert even for those regions, and I recently saw some discussion of Philadelphia being a dead spot for Neo-paganism compared to other regions.
