Wicca is not a religion you can pick up and drop whenever you want. If you want to stay Wiccan then you have to stick up for your religion.
just ASK him if he has a problem with it. If you too are good friends then it'll work out.
Blessed Be

I have been in a similar situation with my best guy friend. I am a Wiccan Priestess and he is a very devoted Christian. We came to a conclusion that it was best not to discuss or preach each others religions. We decided that our religious beliefs were just too different and it would be better to just discuss or do all the other things we had in common. We came to the agreement that when we were together he would wear his cross under his shirt and I would wear my pentacle under my shirt. We always had a lot of fun together so our beliefs soon became something that wasn't an issue anymore. If you have a strong friendship with your guy friend then try to come to some agreement that both of you would be comfortable with. If for some reason that does not work then you need to evaluate your friendship a little more. He may not be the friend you think he is. A true friend would respect your beliefs and would not want to hurt your feelings. True friendship can withstand many obstacles, such as different beliefs or different lifestyles. You just gotta meet halfway. Blessed Be.

Sorry hon. Sounds like you need to choose between your faith, and your friend.
If you aren't sure of your commitment to your faith, then keep that in mind.
If your friend is being demeaning, it might not just be your faith, that this friend has a problem with.
Please choose carefully, but keep in mind, that no matter WHAT faith, or non faith you pick, there will always be people who don't agree with your choice, and will give you a hard time about it.

No one has any right to push any religion on anyone. Tell him you are upset that he is trying to push his religion on you. Be sure to make a point that you respect he has different beliefs and he should respect yours. Don't insult his religion and he should not insult yours. Tell him that to continue this friendship you will both have to set aside your differences.

People have there own religion.
Friends should not pick on friends like that.
But if you want him to stop, the best thing to do is tell him. If he doesn't stop, he's not the GUY friend that you want to have, no matter how nice, charming, and cute he looks.

God has not given up on you. I respect that you have your beliefs. God only helps people who believe in him with with their whole hearts. Please remember this. As far as your male friend. You need to ask him to respect your decision.
