This is not the first time right-wingers have gone after Wicca either. I wrote what wound up being a full-page column in the Jacksonville Times-Union op-ed page once, when then Senator Jesse Helms had attached an amendment to an agricultural bill attempting to ban Wicca.
I argued that the idea was repugnant as it stood against the constitutional right to freedom of religion—I got calls at my house for several days afterwards from priests and pastors around Jacksonville at my house thanking me as an atheist for standing up for freedom of religion.
When I was a Navy recruiter, an order came down from the recruiting command to remove “Wicca” (as part of the very long list of religions that could be put on an enlistment application) from the station recruiting manuals. (We were issued change pages for that.) The order was reversed a couple days later.
Conservatives have been going after Wicca for a long time, primarily because it is a tiny religion in the USA, and if they are successful with diminishing the rights of Wiccans or outlawing the religion, they have effectively neutered the I Amendment case for freedom of religion.
At that point, no faith (or “no faith”) would be safe. We would indeed be a Christian Nation (tm), and they’ll tell you exactly what form of Christianity you’ll follow, or else.
