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.
I have just begun reading Christianity's Dangerous Idea
by Alister McGrath where he addresses the current impact Pentecostalism is having on the world.

Has anyone on here read this book?
