A bit harsh, PP. :-)

Other religions (or offshoots of major religions) follow the teachings of a particular leader who claims to have been influenced somehow by God (either influenced through revelations, or directly descended from God), a leader who was known to be very wise and clever, or several of the above.

Wicca, by contrast, was invented by modern people from research into old spells recorded in historical documents. How much trust you want to put in historical documents as to the accuracy of witches' spells, that's anyone's guess.
