Im wiccan, and when people find out they tend to overreact, and say things about burning me ect.

Just like the peace movement of the 60's was a counter-culture to the war in Vietnam, Wicca is a sort of counter-religion to Christianity. In Christianity, witchcraft used to always be considered consorting with the devil. And in fundamental/conservative Christian areas, it still is. Wicca gets a lot of its converts from people who dislike Christianity, because it's like an act of defiance against Christianity. Like how the 60's got its hippies from people who hated the Vietnam war. An act of defiance. So there you go.

I have nothing aginest Christianity, I just don't happen to believe in it. I guess I just don't understand how such a peaceful religion can be called Satanism, or even be related to it.

You must have professed your beliefs to them at some point. I'm not against speaking your mind, but surely you realize that most people are in the habit of either vehemently denying or attempting to refute the ideals of others that aren't similar to their own.

Basic human nature.
