nathan says: The biggest difference? Christians believe that God became a Man so that we might be cleansed of all sin and unrighteousness. Wiccans believe that because all is one with the great universal cosmos
we can aspire to be one the universal consciousness through the forces of nature. Wiccans believe there is no sin, judgment, or hell because ultimately we all judge ourselves. This is a lie and incongruent with the tenents of their own philosophy. -

Wiccans: believe the Higher Power is immanentChristians: believe in Satan
Wiccans: do not believe in SatanChristians: Believe God is a trinity, or sometimes one
Wiccans: No official doctrine on the nature of the Divine. Sometimes believe in multiple Gods, sometimes in just a single Higher Power that is all Gods and Goddess. Most focus on the feminine/masculine aspects of the Divine, so use terms God and Goddess -
Karila Dawnblade says: A great question I can’t help but answer!
Wicca is a nature-based faith that worships two deities, usually a God and a Goddess. Many Wiccans opt to name these based on an existing pantheon they feel drawn to, like Norse or Celtic gods. Wiccans have no bible, only the guidelines of the Wiccan Rede which states that you can do as you feel, so long as you harm no one (including yourself). Wiccans have eight holidays during the year placed on and between the Equinoxes and Solstices, celebrating the changes in the seasons. Wiccans also hold rites on Full and New moons.
I think that sums it up. Since most people know Christianity well enough I won’t ramble about that. -

Katie says: I would say that this is an impossible task as there is no comparison between the 2. Everything about Wicca opposes the set of rules that is Christianity & there is nothing of lesser or greater significance. As human beings I would say that the wiccans will b excepting of a persons right to believe what they will whereas it goes against the Christians belief to except anything that is not apart of there religious structure. Such r the choices of man n not god or gods
