There is a large amoung of misinformation floating around about Wicca(for example, that we worship the devil, or that we eat babies). These erroneous ideas are fueled by lurid movies, television, and scandal magazines, and the anti-everything-not-orthodox fanatics. Extremist christians believe this(especially the older ones).
I don't think Wicca will be nationally accepted as a religion any time soon, but I think one day it will. There are far too many ignorant people in the world right now for it to be nationally accepted in the USA. Another issue is that there are so many newer people claiming to be witches because they think it's 'cool', and that all Goths are Wiccan, and that you will be blessed with the ability to turn your worst enemy into a magot. These are the people who know nothing about our faith and walk around saying,"You better shut up or I'll cast a spell on you!" This also gives us real Wiccans a bad name.
The best that we can ever do is try to maturely explain to other people what our religion REALLY is. Wether they choose not to believe us or to, it's up to them... but at least we tried our hardest to inform them of the truth.
