You have a very valid point. Personally, I'm atheist, but I do know a lot about a lot of beliefs, so I do know the difference between wiccan and witchcraft.
I know what I'm about to say may seem off-topic, but it's not. Stick with me, since it's like a metaphor and all that goodness, heh. A few years ago, when I realized that I was nearing the "point of no return" to diabetes, I started low-carbing. People soooo didn't get what it was about. They thought it was "beef and butter, all the time, just beef and butter." So not true. Even worse, when Dr. Atkins died (from a head injury from slipping on the ice), and people said, "See? I told you low-carbing was bad for you!!" (I asked more than one person, "So, cutting out sugar and trans fats and Wonder Bread, what, makes my shoes more slippery?")
The point is this. Sadly, we're filled with a world of idiots, who jump to conclusions and don't really try to understand things outside of their existence. Thankfully not all of us are like this, but don't be surprised when you find one here and there.
