Gerald Gardener, in the 1950s, is generally given that distinction, though "made up" is a term with negative connotations.
It might be better to say that of the newly emerging beliefs from the 1920s on up, he greatly assisted in regularizing it and helping it get it's start.
While it is purely modern, and has no continuity with older pagan belief systems, it is a bona fide faith, and the IRS recognizes it as a church for purposes of tax exemption.
No.
Yes, wiccans are practicianers of "Wicca" and can be of either sex.
12, 7, 24... Whatever made up number allows you to believe in whatever made up religion you believe in...
The ancient Greek religion was not made up any particular place or a particular year. It is pre-historical. The television and film adaptations are modern and not altogether correct.

They are polytheistic. They kinda made up their own religion.
The Romans had no set "religion". They were pantheists up to the reign of Theodosius I who made Christianity mandatory and outlawed pagan worship.The Romans had no set "religion".

Classes? Wicca is not taught through classes... It is a very old and very spiritual religion. I assume you're confused and are actually referring to Wiccan covens? Wiccan covens can sometimes be found through an internet search in your area, but be warned, this isn't a 'class' you can just walk into and leave half an hour later as an official Wiccan. Initations take place, and there is a *lot* to learn. I suggest you read up on the subject before even considering joining a coven. I doubt many covens let people with no knowledge of the religion join them anyway.Also, are you aware that you don't have to be part of a coven to be a Wiccan? You can be a solitary Wiccan, and practice on your own. This is what the majority of us do before joining a coven when/if we feel ready to join a community of others.
You do need to be a member of a coven to be a witch, or be initiated by someone higher up. There are some reputable books on the subject of solitary witches, and how to make the most of your Practice when you are on your own (after all, it is not uncommon to be the "only wiccan in the village." However one needs to be intiated by a lineaged Wiccan, and then leave the coven to be a solitary wiccan. Furthermore it is traditional to wait a year and a day before initiation. I urge you to continue your study of Wicca. If you are drawn to the Lord and Lady and are most comfortable with a religion which honors fertility and sex, then as your actions naturally align themselves with the tenets of Wicca, then you are not quite a witch yet. You still need to be initiated.
we made up one; Masonism or Maselam.
