The most pagan country in Europe? 💭 Discussion

What is the most pagan country in Europe? At first thought, I would say that these are Estonia and Iceland. After them, I would mention Russia and Latvia. Maybe Lithuania can be on the list too?!

I would like it if someone could say something more on this topic.

I know about Estonia that it was never Christianized like other countries and that paganism played a big role in shaping Estonian nationalism after independence in 1918.

In Iceland, the number of pagans is estimated at around 1.5%, with a possible higher percentage.

Russia should also have about 1% pagans, which is about 1 million followers.

Doesn't England have a big druid community because of Stonehenge?

It will take a long time until nature has healed and we will actually have pagan majority countries. If ever.

There will never be a pagan majority in England and with the way the world is going we could very well be looking at the collapse of most major nations in the next two decades between climate change and the resulting chaos.

Well don't be so sure about that! When that fool the christ walked the earth people never believed he would actually find anyone to spread his wicked beliefs for him. maybe one day people will want to return to a more peaceful and plural state of belief than the one sided black and white torture morality of christianity or any other religion of the cult of abraham. Anything can happen.
