Comparison Chart of Wicca and Christianity

Since this month is the month of Halloween, it got me to search up witches and supernatural creatures. All of that searching lead me to the religion Wicca. I am not saying that Wiccan people are witches (in the mean of witches in movies [most of the time portrayed evil, satanic]). I am saying in a way that witches on TV (the good ones that have magic and do spells) are similar in the aspect of believing in magic. Many Wiccans believe in magic, a manipulative force exercised through the practice of witchcraft or sorcery. Whilst searching up information about Wicca I have heard a lot of unnecessary rude comments about this religion. I believe that even when you don't believe a different persons religion, you should at least respect it. The dominant religion of the world is Christianity, so I thought of doing a comparison of Wicca and Christianity. I built the chart in Microsoft Word and then copied it, i'm not sure how to build a chart on Blogger. Sorry.
