I personally think that things have gotten a bit blown out of context about
the books and witchcraft.  Yes, there are modern day "witches" that practice
a nature based religion called Wicca.  No where in the books (and I have
read each and everyone several times) have I seen anywhere where the Wiccan
religion is being taught.  If anything, I see Christianity what with the
celebration of Christmas.  I'm not sure about Easter.

My take on Hogwarts is it is a "specialized" school that takes children with
special abilities and trains these children in the correct use of these
abilities - much like music schools that train musical prodigies or young
adults with scientific talents  going to schools with strong science
curriculum.

As to why the WW stays hidden, it is my opinion, Muggles would be frightened
and witch hunts would become popular again - history repeating itself.

Anyway, Christ wasn't Christian - he was born, raised, and died a Jew.
