It depends a lot on your own personal beliefs, really. There are people who follow both the major Christian beliefs (Jesus dying for people's sins and all his teachings, etc) and major points of pagan religions such as Wicca. However, chances are the church itself isn't going to take too kindly to being both. I wouldn't advise being very open about it. I don't know that the preachers would actually kick you out of the church, but they will harrass. A lot. One of the things I have learned is that most of the Major Religions want exclusive rights to your soul, those of us following Pagan Paths tend to be more pragmatic. I have never claimed to have all the answers, I don't even claim to have all the questions, so I tend to respect the beliefs of others without telling them they "have it wrong", I have found this attitude to be very common to most Pagans..
I tend to compare this to the concept of dual-citizenship... if you are born in the US you are a US citizen, if you move elsewhere and chose to become a citizen of that country then that country (generally) considers you a dual-citizen. The US however will always only consider you a US citizen. If in this comparison you replace the US with a Major Religion and the other country with any Pagan Path you will understand. We have no problems with you being a Cristo-Pagan, or a Judao-Pagan however the Major Religions will only consider you whatever they are... You might experience pressure from the Priest/Ministers/Whomever to renounce your Pagan beliefs as being "wrong" or "evil", but you will never have a Pagan try to convince you to give up your old beliefs.
None of us really knows what we will find when we cross the veil, and I for one will not deny god in any form... just in case. And just one more thought... Standing in a Christian church/ Pagan Circle does not make you Christian?Pagan, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
Yes, because you feel like it. Witch's are allowed anywhere they want to be. It's a free country. Witch's often times join Christian churches just to be communal. You cannot tell if she or he is a Witch, and they enjoy the company of others... why not join YOUR church?For those of you who feel uncomfortable with this scenario, you are close minded and sad.Just understand there are Witch's in every walk of life. The only reason you may not hear from us and our views is that we are not out to claim you unto our circles. We don't want to convert you. But the same is not often the other way around. And moreso, there are biggoted people who wish to bring harm and misery to those unlike themselves. Recently, there have been more and more Wiccans who have come "out of the broom closet", but there are so many types of earth believers and Wiccans are Witch, but Witch is not Wiccan. It is to say Baptists are Christians, but not all Christians are Baptists. And there are Wiccan places of worship but not every Witch feels delighted to hang out like that. Maybe they want to feel mundane and hang out with their xtian neighbours.It's a free country. Witch's can do what they will and they harm none by going to church with you. You have fun craft faires and bake sales and flower contests and fun stuff. So, why not?

Can wiccans go out with parodist's?
It is against the Wicca religion to discriminate, so a Wiccan can most definitely go out with a parodist.
Why are wiccans said to be evil?
The word "wicca" means wisdom. Women who had knowledge of medicine and other practical matters used to be seen as a threat to the Church and to the power of men in general. Therefore, they were called witches (or wiccans) and persecuted. The prejudice against people who practice a nature-based type of religion lives on today because of ignorance. Wicca is a peaceful religion. Wiccans are not evil.
Are there any Wiccans in the world?
I'm one, so yes, there are Wiccans in the world.
What does AREN do for Wiccans?
AREN helps Wiccans realize their true potential in conjuring spells. It allows Wiccans a sort of guide to different spells and such that they may utilize.
What is the wicca diet?
There is no single diet followed by all Wiccans. Some Wiccans are vegetarians or vegans while other Wiccans enjoy meat without any special concern.
Wiccans and the Catholic Church have fought the protestant belief since Greece even more with Queen Elizabeth why and is it deeper like with Ancient Greece and their Hermaphordite Gods?
It's unlikely that Wiccans fought alongside the Catholic Church against Protestant beliefs since the time of Greece, as Wicca is only less than a century old. Besides that, Greece is predominantly Orthodox Christian, not Catholic or Protestant Christian.
Where do wiccans go when they die?
Wiccans believe that at the perfection of the life force, after the completion of the cycle of rebirth, the life force goes to the Summer-land to join with the higher forces of the universe. The simple belief is that the soul goes to the Summer-land after the death. Many Wiccans also believe that we are reborn after the death to learn new lessons for the constant improvement.
Does all wiccans follow the Wiccan Rede?
No, they don't. I follow it, and a lot of Wiccans do, but there is absolutely no way we all do.
What kind of spells are wiccans allowed to do?
You can do any spell you wish; however, most wiccans are into good/white magick.
Do dianic wiccans worship the goddess Diana or do they like most wiccans worship the lord and lady?
Most Dianic Wiccans worship the Goddess only, acknowledging that She is the source of all living and contains all within Her.
Do Wiccans worship Lucifer?
Lucifer is a fallen angel found in the Abrahamic religions. Wiccans are a branch of Paganism. Pagans do not follow the Abrahamic teachings and do not even believe in the existence of Lucifer. Therefore, Wiccans do not worship Lucifer.
What countries practice wicca?
Wicca started in England. It is widely spread in USA, and also in Australia. Wiccans live in so many countries, all around the world including India and Sri Lanka. Wicca is not limited to one country. You cannt say how many Wiccans are there in a country, because when wicca is not known to the general public of a country or if there is a negative stigma about Wicca in a country, Wiccans don't openly tell what their religion is. One other reason is, Wiccans do not point out other Wiccans to non Wiccans, or even to other Wiccans
