Xians have a track record of murdering Wiccans, Wiccans kill no-one.
Wiccans tolerate/respect Xians beliefs, Xians are intolerate of Wicca.
Xians believe in Satan, Wiccans don't believe Satan exists. Xians believe in 1 god, Wiccans don't necessarily.
Xians have 10 commandments, Wiccans have one - The Rede, i.e. do what ye will but harm none.

Christians came second and murdered them.

Um, well:
1. Multiple deities vs. one
2. Use of Magic vs. condemning magic
3. No sin vs. no one is good and all are sinful
4. No need of a personal savior vs. Jesus
5. No sacred text vs. the Bible as inspired by God
Those are the major ones (which is why I don't believe one can be a Christian Wiccan).
End Quote
1. Wiccans don't worship multiple deities, they wordhip the aspect of nature
2. Magic is just a form of prayer, the condemning of it was just a way of Christians to rip religion from Pagan peasants.
3. Sin is upsetting the pattern of life, of COURSE there are condemned things in this belief
4. The world dies and is reborn every year. The Wiccans recognized this and Christians used this recognition to set holiday dates. Regardless, their savious is the thing that provides life to us daily, Earth.
5. Plenty of sacred texts, Christians destroyed most of it, but some exist in the form of myth, and, whether or not you believe it, they exist in Christian Myths too.

One god - Christians
goddess' - Wiccan
Wiccan's appreciate all things in life, the sun, the moon and the earth and pay homage to these things also.
Christians devote their belief mainly in the house of god to a belief in an actual entity/spirit.

From what I've heard and seen over the past 60+ years, here are my observations about the Wiccans: they worship the Anti-Christ, hold covens and Black Sabbaths, despise and desecrate all Christian symbols, and use an upside-down broken cross, which was adapted in the 1960s (or before) as a so-called "Peace Symbol". Their profane altar is for human and/or animal sacrifice. Some may drink the blood of their sacrifices, they seem to also worship Gaea, AKA: Mother Earth, and "Lilith", the *supposed* first wife of Adam.
Christians, on the other hand, know that the Bible is true and that it is the Word of God and know that they are sinners in need of salvation. They are "Washed in the Blood of the Lamb", Jesus Christ, for "Without the shedding of (Christ's) blood, there is no salvation".
There have been many well-meaning and sincere - and some insincere -"shepherds" who have imposed various restrictions, obligations and rituals on the "sheep of their flocks" over the centuries since Christ walked among us. However, Christians are constantly - hopefully daily - reading His Word, the Bible, seeking His Will and trying to follow Christ's teachings to the best of their ability (with the help of the Holy Spirit).
Christians know that "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"; but when they sin, they turn to the Lord for forgiveness of their sin, even if, sometimes, it takes longer for them to repent than God, the Father, would like. This is so because He gave mankind free will to accept or reject Him.
Christians try to follow Jesus' commandments to: "love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and mind and spirit", "love your neighbor as yourself" and "love one another, even as I [Jesus] have loved you."

The big difference I notice in these answers is that most of the christians are sarcastic and snotty while the wiccans are polite.

In general Wiccans don't believe in the Devil and some of them believe that God is a woman. Wiccans also don't usually believe in Hell either. Wiccans seek supernatural power apart from the God of Heaven and seek to live by a code that says that every good deed comes back threefold and the same with every bad deed.
Christians believe in the God of the Bible who says that our sins have separated us from Him but that He loved us so much that He sent his one and only Son to die a substitutionary death in our place so that we could be with God for all eternity. Christians believe that any supernatural help someone can access that isn't from God is from a seducing demonic spirit that is seeking to lead people into the occult and away from eternal life in Christ. As it is written:
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
Christians believe that Satan whom Jesus called a murderer and the father of lies uses religious systems like Wicca to fool people with good intentions and spiritual aspirations in order to damn their souls to Hell because God created people in his image and He loves us and the Devil is God's and our enemy.

Christians have one God and Wiccans have many?

The foremost is a personal knowledge of God. Most Wiccans would not claim to know God even if they did believe He exists.
