No, Wicca and Satanism are two completely different religions. Wiccans don't even believe in Satan.
Satanists can be divided in to two different groups:
Satanists generally follow a behavior code, similar to the Christian 10 Commandments, that states:
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
This code, founded by Aleister Crowley, means that Satanists are permitted freedom of action.
Wiccans, as viewed by Neopagans, follow a religion that is directly unrelated to Satanism. Some are highly structure, while others are ecletric. Many Wiccans are solitary practitioners, meaning they practice their religion on their own.
Wiccans:
"An it harm none, do what thou wilt."
This code, also known as the Wiccan Rede, means that you may do whatever you wish as long as it does not harm anyone, including yourself. Unlike Satanists, Wiccans are not allowed to harm, manipulate, dominate, or control others.
the wiccans or satanists, if referring to Satan
Because of religious rights "the" can't ban Wicca or Satanism for the same reason. Wiccans are NOT satanists. Wiccans can be considered the European earth-based religion which predates Christianity. Satanists are very different!
The Wiccan use of the term "witch" to describe a practitioner of the Wicca belief created a false association of Wicca with Satanism, based on the fact that Christians used the word "witch" to refer to one who has made a pact with Satan in exchange for supernatural powers. In actuality, Wicca is similar to druidism. The Wicca faith is based heavily around nature. To answer your question, if you were asking whether Wiccans were Satanists, the answer is no. If you were asking whether "Wiccans" and "Witches" referred to the same thing, the answer is yes. Also, if you're further interested in Wicca,Wikipedia is a fine source of information (as always).
No, most Satanists are not hate groups. However, there are some sects that are.
