they may feel like they are in the middle of opposing forces and they are..I wonder how many are in transit toward atheism

agnostics i can understand when you say fence sitters ... although personally i dont see anything wrong with that
Wiccans are a different kettle of fish all together , they have set beliefs , they arent waiting to find anything out before they believe in it and i doubt very much they are on their way to atheism

Lol! Wicca is hardly fence sitting. Neither is it a transition towards atheism. Wicca is a belief in a whole different theology than Christianity, Islam, or Judaism. In a way, it can be difficult because we have no holy book to go by. We must rely on our personal connection with the Divine.
I don't feel that I am in the middle of opposing forces at all. Rather, I feel like I'm watching opposing forces from an outside vantage point.

Wiccans are no more fence sitters than Christians (or any other religion that one finds true for them). You might as well ask if Christians are in transit toward atheism. It truly is a way of life that we embrace and practice every day, not reserved for Sunday. There will always be a few in every religion who are just "playing at being...", I have noted a few of them here. Those of us who are true believers (not just wicca, but any religion) live our lives by whatever codes have been laid down. Without thought or hesitation as to exactly what we are doing or why we are doing it. And if one lives that way, there is no need for apology or to ask forgiveness.

I've been pagan, a religious witch, for over 20 years. (Whether or not I'm specifically "Wiccan" depends on your definitions.)
I get along better with devout Christians than with atheists. At least we agree on the existence of divinity, if not the number. I have no idea what "opposing forces" you're talking about.

Wiccans believe in many Gods and Goddesses, the earth, nature,etc
Agnostics want to see tangible proof of a living God
