They do think "xtianity" is false (when they say they think all religions are true, they are embracing a universalist mindset, not a Christian one...they are simply accepting what few parts they like and rejecting most of it), partly because they believe in a revised history, where mention of the "Lion Times" is absent, and a belief that 1. Wiccan is a surving Celtic Pagan religion (it's not)
2. That it was driven underground by the evil "xtians" (it wasn't, it didn't even exist until 1950 or so)3. That the people burned in during dark ages were survivors of a Pagan cult (they weren't)

While they'll tell you they don't hate "xtians", for some reason they spell Christianity "xtianity", etc., which is done out of hate and is the equivalent to using the "n" word when you think about it. If you look at some of the various Wiccan NGs, you'll see how much they really like "xtians".
They usually seem to like other world religions a bit more...even though they usually have similar morals to "xtianity".

Hmmm, seems like you got some very intelligent answers. Not what you were expecting I'd bet. We don't feel that what anyone believes is false. What is right for one may not be right for another. Just because it is not my chosen path does not mean I think it is false, I just don't agree.
So I think you have it backwards, the question should be "Do Christians believe that every religion (other than Christianity) is false?". Silly question.
Oh, maybe I should not have answered, I am not Wiccan, I am a witch!
IMHO "God" is like the top of the mountain, there are many paths to get there.

I don't feel any religions, Christianity included, are false. All religions have value if it makes the followers happy. While there are some religions that I really don't understand like Scientology or Satanism, it's not my place to tell them their religion is "false". I understand those two religions and how they work, but I don't know why anyone would want to be part of either of them. But like I said, who am I to judge their beliefs?
A big part of Wicca is the acknowledgement that all paths lead to the Divine. Religion is the language each of us use to connect with It.
Blessed Be.

I don't know that there are any Wicca practitioners that feel Christianity is "false", so the question is based on a faulty premise.
If your path is spiritually fulfilling, and you aren't harming yourself or others by following it, who's to say that your path is "wrong"?

the hot testomony says to love one yet another, love your enemies, etc. regrettably, the relatively some church homes have used the religion to income own & political potential. to do this, they began by using putting down another faith as evil. They took the Wiccan trip trips & became them into their own to make it much less complicated & greater ideal for individuals to transform. Then they persecuted people who did no longer convert. for a protracted time, Wiccans might pass to christian church homes & faux to be christian considering's what it took to no longer be persecuted. in case you look at relatively some the relatively previous cathedrals, you will detect pagan symbols interior the artwork & shape, using fact the pagans have been conscripted into development them. maximum Christians do no longer seem to understand the historic previous of their own faith - or they forget approximately approximately it. My dad and mom do. You DO understand that no longer all Christians hate Wicca, in basic terms as no longer all Wiccans are non violent, top?

Like pretty much everyone else has said, I don't think any religions are false. Who are we to judge or decide what is right or wrong? If it works for you, that is all that matters.
What I don't like, is fundamentalism, which can come with any religion, even Wicca.

I don't believe that any path is false unless it's a cult. Any situation where believers have to give up their free will and/or have to submit to unlawful things (like letting the leader sleep with your 14 yr. old daughter) is wrong. Radical groups that kill for "God" are wrong as well.
Other than that, have a peaceful journey!

Christianity is the only one I have a problem with. But that is only because it claims to be the only way.. and there is no "only way". Other reasons too..
