I wouldn't at all be surprised if there was something approaching a "silent majority" of outwardly-appearing normal people who do indeed have an interest in these ancestral traditions, yet feel alienating or put-off by those who are most vocal (mostly on the internet) about their interests in this.
Modern Druidry I think largely avoids this baggage because it doesn't call itself paganism, or neopaganism, or what not, even though there is quite a bit of overlap in the membership base of neo-Druid organizations. Revival Druidry in particular seems to do a good job warding off anything that reeks of dogma or ideological possession.
