I don't know if wicca is "technicall" a religion. I don't know of any wiccans getting a tax exempt property status .....like a church does.

I suspect that if you ask 20 different wiccans you will get 20 different answers......just like a christian, jew, muslim or mormon.

Why don't wiccans or the followers of Abraham have the same answers????

Put them all in the same room and I can tell you what you will find......WAR!

Wicca is a Neopagan religion and a form of modern witchcraft. It is often referred to as Witchcraft or the Craft by its adherents...

Wicca is typically a duotheistic religion, worshipping a Goddess and a God, who are traditionally viewed as the Triple Goddess and Horned God. These two deities are often viewed as being facets of a greater pantheistic Godhead, and as manifesting themselves as various polytheistic deities. Nonetheless, there are also other theological positions within the Craft, ranging from monotheism to atheism. ...

There are various different denominations within Witchcraft, which are referred to as traditions ...

For example - there is no objective evidence for an afterlife. There is anecdotal evidence (ghost sightings, near-death experiences, etc.) but this cannot be substantiated (unless, of course, you yourself have seen a ghost or had an out-of-body experience or whatever). Absent such first-hand experience, to say that there is definitely not an afterlife is as much an act of faith as saying that there definitely is.
