Ignore them sweetie.
The bible is a fictional book about an evil deity.

The last part of your question caught my attention when you said I don't know if my religion is the right one. I can tell you it is not.
I am a Christian and when I met a young lady that was wiccan I admit I did not know a thing about wicca but I studied it to see what it is all about. And it is not true it is a fairytale a myth that is colorful fun and pretty much most think if it feels good do it as long as you harm nobody else unless of course you are into black magic and you can switch back and forth if you choose.
I am not saying I think Christians are perfect we all make mistakes. The big difference is wiccans think Christ was a prophet not the Son of God. If they tell you they think he is the Son of God then they are lying. The Lord tells us do not have any other Gods besides me. Wiccans have more then one God.
Wiccans will tell you their religion is older then Christianity that may be true but it is not older then the Bible. The Bible is our oldest history book.
The Bible was written 1450 BC- 95AD that is a long time most of the authors of the Bible did not know each other or even live close together yet they had the same theme all through the Bible.
The Romans kept pretty good records and there is a record of Christ so we know indeed he did exist. His disciples were beaten tortured and put to death because of their teachings what would make somebody do such a thing if they had not seen him themselves rise from the dead and give his message?
Some say the disciples stole him from the grave and buried him in a secret place then why be beaten tortured for something they knew to be a lie? They knew something they saw something for all of them to go this way they knew the truth he is our Lord and Saviour. Don't' be swayed by a false religion no matter how interesting or pretty or serene it is only to steal you away for the truth.
Being a Christian does not mean that anyone is going to expect you to be perfect if that were true we all could hang it up. It just means that you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God sent to die for our sins and we accept him as our Lord and Saviour the end. If you believe this God will show you what is next in your life.
Do yourself a favor and read this book the name of it is A Case for Christ it was written by a atheists. Good luck
PS no such thing as part Christian either you are or you are not.

You can ask them to refrain from making negative remarks about your mom's religion. You don't want to hear it anymore and it's unncessary and it's also hateful. It shows ignorance on their part.
Try to change the subject. Move away. Ignore them as best you can. It's best to remove yourself from the discussion.
I try to do that with my inlaws but it's not possible. I usually just stay quiet or ignore them when it comes to religious talk or just listen and smile. It depends what they are talking about. They believe in creationism and don't believe in evolution at all. Of course, it's hard to ignore the fact that neither of them even understand evolution. (think they know it all though)
They can be very negative. Just tune them out if you are able to or remove yourself. That's the best advice I think I can give.

You should not let their beliefs upset you, no more then your beliefs should upset them. As a Christian myself your beliefs concern me only in the aspect that your soul is in jeopardy as it will them. People fought and died for the freedoms we have in this country, in order that we can worship what and whom we wish. I am a big guy with long hair and numerous tattoos. I love it when I find someone questioning my faith because of my appearance. I really remind them that their faith is weak for making assumptions regarding my faith. For one thing they are judging me, and usually before even talking to me.

I don´t know the religion you are referring to but if you are in an environment where you have your own thing going then keep it to yourself. The time is not right for the old religions to come back but maybe they will some day.

Well first u could give them a book about what wicca is all about so they can read it and not make assumptions. Second truth is the best but as a part christain myself I think they will except it and family love will rule out.

I think its cool that you are protective over your mom. Why don't you talk to her about it, and see how she thinks you should handle it. No mother wants her child to be upset or sad. I wish you the best of luck on your search for what is right for you.

Be honest and be yourself. If they are true christians they will love you anyways. I personally do not believe it is the right religion because I recently became a christian. Be true to yourself and what you believe.

Your family is simply warning you and are greatly concerned for your soul which is currently damned to the lake of fire. Revelation 21:8 includes witches (both "good" and "bad") will have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone.
But be of good cheer that this makes you upset for their is still hope for you that you may be saved. If you were completely dead to their words then you wouldn't have a chance at being saved.
Let your conscience go to work and seek with all your heart the Kingdom of Heaven and God will show you.

Focus on what you believe, not the name you give it, and let them be.
I'm assuming you're a minor, and you're just inviting trouble if you're honest with them.
Don't lie, but don't give them ammo, either.
