Much of the growth of Charismatic theology worldwide occurs in places that have a long history of animism.


THis is not surprising since much Pentecostalism is animistic itself.

As the West frees itself from Enlightenment ideas (i.e. no supernaturalism) it will be increasingly interested in the supernatural and open to wild religious beleifs. Pentecostalism will only continue to rise for at least a decade or two I beleive.
