define pagan.
I’m not sure, but at least half a million. Wicca and paganism are the fastest growing religions in the U.S.
>>How Many Pagans verses other religions …<< "versus," not "verses." Learn to spell, Mel.
The USA keeps no detailed statistics on religious affiliation-with good reason-so every source for this data is going to be problematic.

This cannot be pinned down because you first have to figure out how many people of any religion or none live in the US. Then you’d have to define “pagan” in a reasonable way. Then you’d have to find all the people willing to “come out” as pagan.
All known statistics are flawed, bu the Wiki article is non-the-less an attempt. Pagan would fall under “other” which means that it would be under 1.4% of the population unless you count Hindus and Buddhists under the pagan umbrella.
