There's so much wrong there that I can't even begin to address it without derailing the topic with an overlong essay (and I have stuff to do today), so I'll limit my response (for now) to this little gem:

Why bash someone for their religion? Why would anybody here try and prove Wicca to be stupid or nonexistant? If anything, that makes YOU all stupid for trying to preach like that. While I'm no Wiccan, I will TRY to understand them to some extent.

You squeeze two major contradictions into just this little snippet. First you say
people are bashed, then claim that we're actually going after the belief system. Which is it? This does imply that you see no difference. I, and people like me, always go for the
belief system. Bashing people is
ad hominem, logically fallacious, spiteful and pointless. But a belief system is composed of ideas, and all ideas exist in the public domain to be criticised and evaluated. If we conclude that the ideas are poor and say so, how are we the bad guys? All we have done is examined these ideas. We didn't come up with them, and we do not find them sufficient to hold ourselves, so however erroneous or flawed we declare them to be is not our fault.
The second contradiction you make is more of a hypocrisy. You claim to try to understand Wiccans (as if examining and criticising a belief system is not doing that), but make no attempt to understand its critics and just call them stupid. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
