The Christian Religion is the most infamous of the Witch Hunters, there certainly were others as well, but Christians were still burning women, children, and men, as few as a couple hundred years ago, and many Christian Zealots, who have murdered their own Children in the last few years, used such excuses as, the children were possessed by this or that, and Jesus told me to Kill them.

How did they kill Salem witches?
They usually hung, burnt, drowned, or cut them to death. EDIT: At Salem, they only hung the convicted witches. Burning was a Continental European punishment. Drowning was part of the water test and if you drowned you were innocent. And "cut" I can only explain as beheading. The only person accused of witchcraft to be beheaded was Anne Bolynn, and that was because she was convicted of treason.
What did they do to kill the witches of the Salem witch trial?
19 persons convicted of witchcraft were hanged by the neck until dead. One person believed to be a witch was crushed to death by having stones put on his body until he died.

What changes happened in Salem in the 17th century during the Witch hunts?
People who were pagans, wiccans or did witchcraft went underground, and that's why now days you come across people who don't even know what paganism or wicca is and also believe witches and witchcraft is not real. Whereas paganism was there in the VERY beginning so then shouldn't it be more out there? it isn't because of the burning times. Although now Salem is a place where a lot of wiccans, witches and pagans live, they've made it their home, since the burning times died out and more open minded, reasonable people came around.
