Not in the way you are thinking.
Pagans believe in a Goddess and a God. Depending on the path they follow as to which ones. Any number of the Gods can be called apon as needed depending on the ritual or cerimony being preformed.
Jesus was a real man with many great gifts and abilities given to him by the Gods. We do not see him as the saviour/god as christians do, but as a human male, a gifted human male.
I hope this helps to some degree. There are a number of books and people you can learn about the religion from. Just becareful if this is the path you choose. As you said there are alot of crazed individuals out there that will lead you wrong.
Bright Blessings and Blessed Be!

Those aren't crazed Christians...those are trolls, just trying to foster ill will. The personal beliefs of wiccans vary greatly. None believe that Jesus was a god or the God although they may believe that he was a man who did good works. They usually believe in multiple god(s) and/or goddess(es) and are classified as neo-pagans.
Oh, I AM a Christian. I also dabble in magic and have shared in some hybrid ceremonies with my wiccan sister-in-law over the years. She's tolerant of my beliefs and I'm tolerant of hers so we've been able to "adapt" many celebrations to reflect both our beliefs.

okay, then since only Wiccans, I would say no, they are not evil(!!!) they are basically duolistic. Some Wiccans belive in a Sun God and Goddess while others believe there is just a Prime Sun Goddess.
They are sometimes symbolised as the Sun and Moon, and from her lunar associations the Goddess becomes a Triple Goddess with aspects of "Maiden", "Mother" and "Crone". Some Wiccans hold the Goddess to be pre-eminent, since she contains all

Wiccans don't disbelieve in jesus as far as i know, He was a good man, whos teachings may have been re-interpreted by some priests, Kings and Popes over the years.
As for God, which one.
I know many cultures believe in the "one god" even if it is with different faces and names.
Some people not necessary wiccans, use the Lords prayer as part of closing down rituals, as part of magics.
but whether belief is in the God, or the Prayer. depends on the individual

I have a friend who is a wiccan priestess and I have attended several special ceremonies. I am a christian but not one of the crazy ones:) wiccans beleive in many different Gods and the spirits of the earth. My friend believes in Jesus, she beleives he was a real person that was a healer and humanitarian but not in the same way christianity portrays him. Wiccans however do not beleive in the devil, they don't do any of the weird evil stuff christian extremists and movies might lead you to beleive. it is an ancient and peaceful religion. There is nothing evil about it. I love the weddings and baby naming ceremonies.

No Wiccans believe in ancient Gods the Horned God or the Great Mother Goddess...in addition some wiccans believe in the Goddess as one or the Goddess becomes a triple goddess....

Most wiccans believe in two gods. One Male (the God) one Female(the Goddess). There are other witches out there who only believe there is one God that is both male and female, and others still that do not believe in a god figure at all.

There are some Christian Wiccans around who believe Jesus is the son of God. As to the specifics of their beliefs, you must ask them directly.

I am Not Wiccan. if anything i am the opposite. i follow the darker paths of magic. but that aside, i have studied many of their ways. and here is the deal.
Wicca uses a Generic godhead and has a very open belief system. the "lord and lady" can be any male and female figures that you want to represent the divine.
however many will allow for the throry that all of the dieties of the world are a part of one large singular god. so that a single god figure is acceptable. '
they view magic as prayers, and many will still believe in the Christian God, and simply use the Wiccan method of praying to that god.
some others believe in seperate entity gods and follow them instead of the christian God.
some believe only in the "lord and lady" and do not believe in or follow any other gods. some believe in all gods and simply choose the ones that they will follow.
and others like myself. choose a path that is in direct contrast to the gods of light and such, and desire to follow the more carnal and anamilistic gods.
so what you have is a belief system that will change with every person that followes it. so you will have many different answers to this question, and all of them will be right according to the point of view of the person answering it.

I could be wrong ( I am a Christan..but not crazed I hope) but I don't think they believe in either. I think people get confused and think they worship the devil but because they do not believe in the bible they don't believe in the devil...thus making it very hard to worship. Wiccans (and here again I could be wrong) are very spiritual and believe more in nature and mythology. It is a very open minded religion and I have a hard time thinking anyone could find anything wrong with it .
