Hmmm.... I tend to think, they are more disalike than alike. Witchcraft is varied, though, so it might help you to focus on a particular tradition and ask a more specific question like "How are Wiccans and Christians alike?" or how are "Gypsy Witches and Christians alike?"
Christians
Yes. Witches have existed much longer than Christians. So, Yes There Were.
Generally all denominations of Christianity reject us Homosexuals, and witches such as my self

Witches have no special bodily features, just as Christians, Jews and Muslims have no special bodily features.
Witches have been around since man first became spiritual/religious. Modern day witches or pagans follow the same basic belief system that was first observed thousands of years ago. So witches have always been here (even before Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, etc.).
They don't, because they're not. The witches you read and see films about are simply fiction. The only people who are witches are those that follow the neo-pagan religion of Wicca. However these people have no supernatural powers, it is a just name by which they refer to themselves. As with christians or muslims.
They only have one god (a fairly unusual trait for a religion)
No. To hear some wiccans speak of it, this was where evil Christians burned innocent witches to death. Some will grant that they were not really witches, but will then use this as an example of how evil Christians are for burning helpless women. What really happened? No witches were burned at Salem. As it happens, 19 Christians were hung, another 4 Christians died in prison, and one Christian was pressed to death. Why? Well, the Christians had been falsely accused of witchcraft by government judges. The only Church Authority there was a Reverend Hale, who while initially friendly to rooting out any witchcraft that might exist, is well known now as the chief opponent of the trials. The Christians hung were hung because they loved God, and would rather die than admit to a falsehood. Some weaker Christians - justly scared of the government's power - confessed to lies, in order to save their own lives. And that is the whole of it. The government was oppressing Christians, and 19 of these Christians died for their beliefs. Were there any witches involved at all? Well, as it happens... There was the slave woman, Tituba. Kind of the original source of the hysteria. She was a believer in magic and incantations - in short, a "witch", at least to the extent there can be such things. When confronted, she made a quick - and one would presume false - conversion to Christianity, jettisoning her "wiccan" beliefs at the drop of a hat. So a historical incident where 19 Christians chose death rather than betray their God, and one witch chose to renounce her beliefs at the threat of a lashing, has now been turned around to be some kind of noble martyrdom of witches!
By asking the person if they are a witch. Witches look just like everyone else. Some witches will wear a Pentagram, just as some Christians wear a cross but not wearing one doesn't mean a person isn't a witch.

Thirty-nine books of the Old Testament are accepted as part of the Bible by Christians and Jews alike. Christians are united in their acceptance of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament
