Betfair.Metaphysical.com is using Prediki to allow you to make predictions (or bet) on the outcome of the 'What is Your Religion question in the 2021 Census in England and Wales (E&W).  A census happens every ten years and Census Day 2021 is Sunday March 21, 2021. The Census is run by the Office for National Statistics and is administered to 20 million households. More details can be found at https://census.gov.uk/.

This bet groups a number of responses to the ‘What is Your Religion?’ question, specifically: Animism, Asartu, Pagan and Celtic Pagan, Druid, Heathen, Mysticism, Shamanism, Vodun, Wicca and Witchcraft to see whether, taken together, they can reach 100,000 affiliates* in total. 

Between 2001 and 2011 there was a huge increase in those choosing Wicca and associated religions to affiliate with, but will they total more that 100,000 in 2020?

* Affiliate is the terminology used in the census, since the census asks about association with a religion rather than belief or practice.
