France is a part of Europe's catholic bloc so I don't know what the spiritual situation is like with you. In the USA and Britain the majority of people 'aren't religious' or are struggling to fill a gap left by religion.
So people are looking for ways to fill that gap by experimenting with 'new age' religion like Wicca etc or trying something exotic (there was a huge Buddhist craze a few years ago.) Either way, for most people it's just a cheap thrill that they won't stick to.
On the other hand you have people who adhere to beliefs which are classified as pagan in a serious way, for them I guess it's just as acceptable as Judaism, Christianity etc.
I think like all 'religion' as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or oppress people who don't want/ need it is fine.
By the way Robin what's 'vive le Peuple' all about? Sounds kinda random
