They don’t bother anyone, so that is a plus in my dark book.

Jesus is a fictional creation of man. Wiccans have better logic then to enter into that cult.

Not even those except a fringe number of atheist scholars dispute the historical existence of Jesus, troll.

I'm a Deist. A man with similar traits to some person named Jesus Christ existed, modeled off by craze nuts jobs who wanted to rebel against the state by forming a new religion that will seek to dominate civilizations for centuries.

Every Wiccan I've met in real life (not too many) has been a pretty awesome person.

Since I believe in my religion, I believe that it is true. Therefore anyone who doesn't believe it is wrong. Pretty basic college class Logic stuff. To use a metaphor:

Alice believes all ravens are black.
Bob believes that non-black ravens exist.
Therefore Alice believes that Bob's belief is incorrect.

Alice believes all ravens are black.
Bob believes that non-black ravens exist.
Therefore Alice believes that Bob's belief is incorrect.

See, I think your choice of metaphor is not exactly accurate, because while Alice can prove all ravens are black, you can't prove your religion's accuracy. So let's go with another one:

Alice believes there's a legendary white raven.
Bob believes there are legendary purple, red, green, yellow and turquoise ravens.
Alice likes to mock Bob's belief, and when asked about her opinion on him, says he needs to believe a white raven, signaling he isn't a good person until he does. She believes in constantly bothering Bob and attacking his belief of colourful ravens until he believes only in a legendary white raven.

In my book, all missionaries are HP. Just leave people alone and treat them with respect.

I mean, Wicca is based on an actual fiction/pseudohistory, so rejoinders of "Jesus is fake lol" are a tad ironic here.

Christians literally "culturally appropriated" their holidays from them and other old beliefs. So it's pretty funny from that view as well.

Christianity "appropriated" ancient pagan holidays*. Wicca was invented in the '50s; their claims to be the continuation of an ancient cult of devil worshippers is the bit of pseudohistory I was referring to (historians agree Wiccan rituals are modern inventions and the allegedly-ancient document describing them a forgery—in contrast to Christ, who mainstream historians agree did exist, regardless of whether you believe he performed the miracles described in the New Testament).

*There's also debate as to what extent traditions of feasting and raucous merriment associated with Christian holy days (Christmas being the most famous example) were in fact adopted from earlier pagan religions, and to what extent their pagan origins were exaggerated by the early Protestants to delegitimize the Catholic Church, but that's a topic for another day.

As to the original question: Regardless of how modern (and often stereotypically Western) it is, I do not have any problems with Wiccans who practice their religion peacefully but I do not believe that people should attempt to engage with magic or in the dark arts.  HR.
