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

How did Wicca get included with Agnostics? It is a very old religion nothing like Agnosticism which is a "I believe it is possible" approach. I doubt you will find a Wiccan transitioning towards Atheism unless they are loosing their faith.

Agnostic implies 'in doubt' or 'questioning,' and that yes, an agnostic is finding his or her way towards or away from organized religion.
A Wiccan is not a fence sitter. A Wiccan has subscribed to a set of beliefs and accepts more structure in spirituality than many other pagans. Many pagans, Wiccans included, actually strive for balance between opposites or opposing forces--so to a Wiccan individual, balance itself may be the whole point. Some Wiccans I have met are former athiests, some are former Christians, and some were raised by Wiccans.

This sounds more like stating an opinion than a question.
I am Wiccan, and I am definitelly not a fence sitter. I may not believe in the Christian ideal of god, but I do believe in life forces that work on all of us.
Is there some senscient, omnipotent being controlling all of us? I don't think so. Is everything in life in tune with the elements and the cycles of the Earth. Yes, I do think so. It is this I worship. In my opinion the idea of a God and Goddess is simply the duality of everything that creates and sustains life on Earth.

You are really showing your lack of knowledge about Wicca. Quit reading the Fluffy books and do a little research. And survey's have shown that the people who do leave Wicca, usually go back to their families religion... which is usually Christianity.

neither camp is convinced that religion is the way for all of us. I believe in God but have done nicely without religion. I have studied most of them (Christianity, Judism, Muslim, Budda even Shinto) and I am not convinced that I can read the various religious books and believe them. I believe in God because this very complicated universe, life on earth, the weather, etc. must have been created by a mighty entity (God, if you will) and there are no stories about him that make 100% sense to a logical mind. He is God! And that's that! And one does not require religion to pray or respect HIM.

Everyone on the planet is sitting on the same fence. What you choose to believe or not believe doesn't change a thing. You are no more capable of knowing the truth then me or anybody else. I just choose to admit that.

a wican is no fence sitter. Wiccan's are nature lovers and pay reverance to nature which unfortunately others don't That is why we have so much pollution Blessed be to all wiccans and Taoists, an Asian religion which is almost like wiccan

naw, i'm an agnostic. i choose to be this way because of everything i've ever learned about religion and science. i'm not waiting for a religion. and i don't "believe" stuff without a bit of evidence.
I'll never be an atheist because you can't prove to me there is no god.
there are just a lot of things our physical, limited minds are not capable of comprehending.

wicca is just a watered down version of the real thing i totally agree with you and half the things they teach is just somthing that alexander made up so it would wok for him. they are to wishy washy and they are on the fence because they take that dang creedo so seriously harm none its imposible to do that sooo they just never take a side.
spoken from a traditionlist i think wicca needs to stop brain washing people into tihnking that they are real witches adn teh people need to talk to real people that follow real witchcraft and see how completely different the religions are.
