"The majority of Americans have no problem celebrating
Halloween,
though there’s a substantial portion of the country that refrains or
holds back from certain facets, according to a new poll found.
When asked how they approach the pagan elements surrounding Halloween — a holiday that has grown in popularity since Irish immigrants brought their customs to the U.S. in the 1840s — 59 percent of respondents said “it’s all in good fun,” but not everyone was on board.
While 71 percent of Catholics said that it is “all in good fun,” that proportion is at only 45 percent among evangelicals; a total of 51 percent of evangelicals either avoid the holiday entirely or look past the pagan elements." TheBlaze

When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
There shall not be found among you any one that...
..... useth divination, or an observer of times,
or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer,
or a consulter with familiar spirits,
or a wizard, or a necromancer.
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:
Deuteronomy 18:9-12
