==Number of Followers== 
 Are there any estimates of the number of voodoo practicioners in the United States, Haiti, and other areas?  Maybe some people have listed voodoo on their Census forms.  When I saw Marie Laveaux's grave in 1990 there appeared to be a fair number of people who had been there recently, and there were also those who believed that she was entombed not in her marked tomb, but other nearby tombs.  Marks and trinkets were left at those locations as well.  As for the voodoo vs. catholicism debate, I think church leaders really, really hate it, like a gardener hates weeds.
