In short, women are abandoning the church.
"Because of its focus on female empowerment, young women are attracted by Wicca, popularised by the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
"Young women tend to express egalitarian values and dislike the traditionalism and hierarchies they imagine are integral to the church. "

I don't think that Buffy made Wicca popular (perhaps amongst preteens). But I think the new Earth-centered attitude has driven people toward an Earth-centered religion. Simple as that.

As a fictional fact - didnt Buffy inspire kick-ass vampire slaying as a valid hobby? It was Willow (Alyson Hannigan) that was portrayed as Wicca, even though her actions were more generic of Craft than religion.
Female centric Paganism rocks - you cannot beat a bit of matriarchal pantheist polytheism.

Just FYI the bible might be gender bias, but the Koran makes the bible look like it was written by suffragists.
