Extending this topic out a bit - are we also going to get an increase in people objecting to any excavation of prehistoric sites (not just burials) on 'religious' grounds. We've already had a taste of this with the antics of Catweazle and his pals at Seahenge.
Also, I notice that the gods of the Ancient Greeks are back in fashion in Greece (although the photos I've seen suggest you to have to dress up as a hoplite to take part - this may put a lot of people off as most folks don't have the legs for it). If the bug spreads to Roman religion, could we have an onslaught on classical archaeology (probably not, but at least we could then send the neo-Romans to sort out the neo-Druids}
).
