Because The Bible says no to witchcraft, sorcery, talking to the dead or being spiritually inclined.

So doing witchcraft back in those days was an awful sin and of course they took sin very seriously. i mean come on, they killed those you committed adultery. It was a very Catholic country, and i say catholic because its mainly the Catholics and Christians can go separate ways many times at once.

They were scared of Christianity dying out, or Gods wrath/punishment to the world due to a group of people to disobeyed The Bible, It was ignorant in those days and not many people were open minded.

It depends on peoples views, but I personally think that he was bad, this is because quite frankly he killed over 300 elderly women ( this is because he thought of them as witches).
