Religion in America has always been majoritarilly Christian. When the decennial census in 2000 was published, the main religions were Christian, Islam and Judaism. Under the 'other' category sat a religion that has been gaining supporters fast. Now there is thought to be over 500,000 Wiccans in America alone.
There are many websites on the internet that promote Wicca, however, half of them contain fallacies and are directed at the audience that believes Wicca to be a form of Satanism. The website www.wicca.com holds a historical account as to how Wicca came to be in America in the 1950s and the different sections and beliefs within the religion. Within one of the sublinks is a brief history of where the concept of Wicca came from. There is even an entry within the website that was written by a Christian on what they thought of Wicca and its followers. The website clearly tries to fight against the image of Satanism. It also has links to many Wiccan writers and their works.
A more contemporary website would be www.wiccantogether.com
Its a website where Wiccans can talk together about matters close to their hearts to other witches from other covens. Political matters can be discussed without true fear of intimidation and rejection that some still get. The website has an online shop by link, but the purpose of the site is the connection of witches from around America and the globe.
