I know there is a lot of hate for Christians on this board by some users, but I really don't get it. Sure, I dislike the Catholic church for some of their stuff, but honestly I don't care that much. I give a honest effort to respect all religions and all beliefs, even if I don't believe in them. Everyone has the right to believe in what they want. We shouldn't become what we are hating. You say you hate that they oppress us (Wiccans, etc) but if you keep spreading that message you are exactly guilty of the same crime you just gave them. All religions make mistakes, but blame the regime, not the followers.
I'm an agnostic and I'm proud of it. There are many questions I don't know the answer to and I'm not ashamed to say it. I don't need to explain them using a religion or some other story. I hope I'll eventually know the answer, but I'm not counting on it.

I would say that you should blame the people because
people are corruptible.It doesnt matter how perfect the ideology is
because humans are prone to mistake.More mistakes they make the less is their ideology good/perfect/illuminating.
It true that there is magick used for evil, but wicca is not part of it. Many television programs are the main causes for this. Too much mis-information, for eg. it was in some comedy movie (can't remember the name) they called a male witch wiccan. One eg of total nonsense. To much producers just place nonsense across books and television. You just have to pierce through the lies although its not always easy.
if they attack you go on the offensive many pagans don't do that. say something like "what kind of all loving being would make you suffer forever for not worshiping it" grrr hate it when people act like there doing to you.
PS There more likely to be thrown in hell for there hate than us
