from what i'm hearing from pagans on TFP and my conversations elsewhere, it seems that paganism is very prevalent. if not in the mystical sense, at least i've met many people who share a similar worldview who had not stopped to consider whether they were pagan or not.

You are likely correct......the term Pagan has historically held negative baggage and has been avoided for quite some time. The label is becoming more accepted as of late, and more are using it as a definition of spiritual understanding, rather than ritual practice.
Honestly, most who follow this path don't care who calls themselves Pagan, as the term is not relevant to the experience. It would seem the use of this title is mostly a means to differentiate ones self from a Christian/Muslim/Hindu/Buddhist/Jewish Label.......and define a sixth alternative to the big five.
