These people all claim to be pagans, but you don't see anyone worshiping Jupiter anymore.

You're not looking hard enough.

Religio Romana, Nova Roma, Movimento Tradizionale Romano.

And yes, the Egyptian, Greek, Slavic and Celtic pantheons have established worshippers as well. Even the old paganism of Canaan has followers.

To each their own.

"but you don't see anyone worshiping Jupiter anymore."

Doesn't Jupiter mean great father? I know "piter" in Jupiter means father... that element of paganism in found in Abrahamic faiths too. "Ab" in Abraham itself means father. Hmm.
