Was the Witches and Wizards rejecting Jesus one of the reasons why Christians condemned Witchcraft?

There is no place in The Bible where witches and wizards reject Jesus.
Christians condemn witchcraft because God commanded the nation of Israel not to practice witchcraft:
Deuteronomy 18:10 - 12 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you.

∙ 7y agoWitchcraft implies two things that are completely and utterly incompatible with Christianity:
One is recourse to demons. In this day and age, many who practice witchcraft would deny any involvement with the demonic, they truly do not realize what Christianity is talking about when they say involvement with the demonic.
The second is trying to have influence or power over nature and/or other people. A power or influence which we are not meant to have, thus rejecting God and His commands, and, again, having recourse to demons. Again, even if they don't believe that they are having recourse to the demonic.
The fact that they deny having recourse to the demonic just proves how much the demonic is influencing them.
