Pick on i think is the wrong word to use. More like a bunch of children still playing King of the Mountain.
They forget that Paganism is the basis for most of the worlds religions.
Satanism and devil worship are lumped together.
The Atheist believe in nothing which is abelief in something.
The Christians are stuck in a melting pot by the use of both the OLD TESTAMENT and the NEW TESTAMENT with most of it coming from the OLD TESTAMENT as taught by their different sects. true Christians are to follow the teachings of Jesus until the Jewish nation reconsises him for the PROMISED MESSIAH.

Pagan and Wiccan belief is generally compiled from best guesses about ancient practices from several cultures, so they are not actual long standing traditions on their own. This is not meant as a value judgement, only the actual case. There are interstingideas in Wicca and Pagan systems, but they are derivedfrom patchwork and not whole. Satanism is religious contrarianism and psuedo-occult fantasy, nothing more. Atheism is not a religion, although it is not incompatible with certain religions, such as Buddhism.

Jesus said, in answer to a similar question,
"To what then shall I compare the people of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not wept. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and you say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber; a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified by all her children."
He also said, "... they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." And "If any man walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." "But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him."
"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes in him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be seen, that they are wrought in God."
So boiled down, people argue and have conflicting opinions because they blindly believe they have that nebulous thing called "truth", but ultimately some will be found to be holding on to what is actually false, or darkness, while others will be found with the real Truth. And, unfortunately, it's NOT all just relative; Truth is excusive of Lies as is Light exclusive of darkness. So some are wrong, and a few are right... as for me I put my chips "All in" on the man from Galilee, the Nazarene, son of David, son of Man, Son of God!

You understand why people pick on devil woshippers, but you don't regarding Satanists? Ever heard of Satan the Devil? Devil = Satan.
I would suggest you study the Bible to get a firm understand of Satan's fate, and on the fact that there is no middle road regarding one's allegiance to him.

people may pick on others to make themselfs feel more secure about thier choices. It is also a type of prejuctice. one can't say all christans are unenlightened bible worshoping phycos or wiccans are nature freaks, because every person is unique in thier own sprituality. People are people.

People should not condemn anyone, they do it themselves by what they do or don't do and what they believe or don't believe. A true Christian's commission is to preach the good news of God's Kingdom and make disciples of Jesus and teach the truth about God, not to judge or condemn.

Trust me, they've been picked on plenty. There seems to be constant conflict amongst Atheists and Christians on this board though, so don't be surprised if you find it.

I'm Pagan and I try not to pick on anyone. Everyone has a belief or lack thereof. I'm cool with them all as long as they don't try to convert or comdemn me.

They aren't ? Do you think that a president or a high figure could be one of these religions openly. If they aren't then its because they aren't that serious to people or they are not as popular.
