All of the books by scott cunnigham are very informative about Wicca, and you will learn that the religion is NOT an occult nor do we believe in the Christian derived diety known as Satan.

It's not that simple. There are many different Wiccan traditions, including but not limited to:
1734 Tradition
Alexandrian
Ancient Mystic Order of Wicca
Boucca Wicca
Ceili Sidhe
Dianic
Discordianism (not all Discordians are Wiccan-not by a long shot)
Fellowship Of Isis
Feri Wicca
Gardnerian
Georgian
Lycian Wicca
Reclaiming
Scotican
Strega
Universal Eclectic Wicca
Y Tylwyth Teg
A lot depends on which path you're interested in. For some good overall books on the subject, check Llewellyn's website.

Crafting the Art of Magic by Adian Kelly.
Kelly exposed Wicca as a hoax, and he was actually allowed access to Gardner's infamous Book of Shadows. You'll be hard pressed to find a copy, since Wiccans supressed the book. Tyr "Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton. You might be able to find a copy at your local library.

"Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton does a good job of looking at the history of Wicca itself.
After that, "Drawing Down the Moon" by Margot Adler would be a good second, in that it looks at the modern Pagan movement as a whole.
Mind you, both have their issues, and many people dispute Hutton's work - but they're probably the best ones out there in terms of religion-level histories. (Each tradition will likely have a more concise history on their own.)

Witchcraft from the Inside - by Raymond Buckland
It is an older book, but gives the basics in understanding the Wiccan/Pagan way.
If you are looking to 'learn' the craft,anything by Scott Cunningham is a good beginner study guide.

"Drawing Down the Moon" by Margot Adler, the first scholarly treatment of Wicca and still (to my knowledge, at least) the best.

It looks like you are getting a verbal scolding from Christians who still don't get it.
