You don't get to decide that. *I* don't get to decide that either.

The US Army recognizes it as a religion, that's good enough to pass this test.

Seriously the word "wicca" did not even exist untile the late 1940's.

It was all cut from whole cloth by a British Civil Servant by the name of Gardner. He made up a fictional coven and he slapped together a bunch of rituals.

It is not an issue of judgment, it is just a fact.

The fact the military included some of the rituals in their manuals is irrelevant. There is no central anything about this fake religion. Satanism is also in the chaplins manual. Somehow I doubt they will be holding animal sacrifices (or human for that matter) to start their meetings.

The fact that this pathetic woman was dumb enough to be suckered is beyond the point. There is no "tradition" for "wiccan", there is no "way of life." By the goofy standard promoted by the ACLU, FreeRepublic is a religion and should be opening up meetings.
