They are all people who have chosen something diffrent and harder than the tepical religions. Wiccan's are a more common practice that breaks out from paganism. It has only been 49 years since they banned the last law that stated it was okay to kill witches. Which is what they are. I am paganism go very deep and verry old. I do not know as much about the other's.

Wiccan
Contrary to what those who choose to persecute or lie about us wish to believe, Wicca is a very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of thinking and life which promotes oneness with the divine and all which exists.

Wicca is a deep appreciation and awe in watching the sunrise or sunset, the forest in the light of a glowing moon, a meadow enchanted by the first light of day. It is the morning dew on the petals of a beautiful flower, the gentle caress of a warm summer breeze upon your skin, or the warmth of the summer sun on your face. Wicca is the fall of colorful autumn leaves, and the softness of winter snow. It is light, and shadow and all that lies in between. It is the song of the birds and other creatures of the wild. It is being in the presence of Mother Earths nature and being humbled in reverence. When we are in the temple of the Lord and Lady, we are not prone to the arrogance of human technology as they touch our souls. To be a Witch is to be a healer, a teacher, a seeker, a giver, and a protector of all things. If this path is yours, may you walk it with honor, light and integrity.
Agnosticism is a concept, not a religion. It is a belief related to the existence or non-existence of God.

An agnostic is a person who feels that God's existence can neither be proved nor disproved, on the basis of current evidence. Agnostics note that some theologians and philosophers have tried to to prove, for millennia, that God exists. Others have attempted to prove that God does not exist. Agnostics feel that neither side has convincingly succeeded at their task.

Atheist

1. A person who positively believes that no God(s) or Goddess(es) exists. E. Haldeman-Julius suggests that "The atheist perceives that history, in every branch of science, in the plainly observable realities of life and in the processes of common sense there is no place for the picture of a God; the idea doesn't fit in with a calmly reasoned and realistic view of life. The atheist, therefore denies the assumptions of theism because they are mere assumptions and are not proved; whereas the contrary evidences, against the idea of theism, are overwhelming." 1 This is the definition of Atheism used by most Christians, other Theists, and dictionaries of the English language.
2. A person who has no belief in a God or Goddess. Just as a newborn has no concept of a deity, some adults also have no such belief. The term "Atheist" is derived from the Greek words "a" which means "without" and "Theos" which means "God." A person can be a non-Theist by simply lacking a belief in God without actively denying God's existence. This is the definition of Atheism used by many Atheists. They use the term "strong Atheist" to refer to a person who denies the existence of one or more deities

Wiccans - as many have accurately said here already - are following an earth based religion. We celebrate the seasons of the year - the begging of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn - as well as other Sabbats (aka Holidays). Our God is usually a horned God - which is where Christians came up with the idea that we worship the devil, which we most decidely do not. We don't believe in a/the devil, hell, or even a heaven. I am a Solitary, but there are those who form covens and practice together. We worship everywhere/anywhere since all the earth is precious and holy to us.

My daily affirmation is The Wiccan Rede:
Bide the Wiccan Law ye must,
In perfect love, in perfect trust.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An' ye harm none, do as ye will.
An ever mind the Rule of Three:
What ye sends out comes back to thee.
Follow this with mind and heart,
An' merry ye meet, an' merry ye part.

Agnostics (which is what my husband is): is sort of like a hung jurry in the trial of whether God exists.

atheist doesn't believe in any god whatsoever. agnostic believes in God or at least a supreme being but they are too skeptical to buy into an organized religion. wicca is a very old religion based on worship of nature and a goddess and god. pre-christian, called pagan. a wiccan joins with others anywhere they wish to meet, to celebrate holidays based on changes in season and to honor the goddesses.

Wiccan's paganish, lots of nature gods and stuff (I'm not really all that up on it, try wikipedia if you're interested).
Agnostic doubts the existence of a creator, and looks for proof or questions religious dogmas.
Atheists flat out reject the possibility of god.

Wiccans are witches that believe in god and goddess duality.

Agnostics are unsure of a god's existence.

Atheists deny the existence of god.

Btw, agnostic and atheist aren't religions.

Wiccans practice wicca - a form of witchcraft but actually it is more pagan than your normal wichie poo witchcraft.

Atheists- don't believe in God or any higher power of any sort. They believe man is in control of the world .

Agnostics don't disbelieve in a God nor do they believe in one. They're kind of fence sitters in spiritual matters .
