How did people feel about witches when shakespeare was alive?
There were a lot of people who really believed in witches. However the witches in Macbeth are not to be taken seriously: they have silly songs and dances and speak in silly rhyming couplets. But they were inserted (probably by Thomas Middleton who wrote one of the songs) because that portrayal of witches was extremely popular and the audience wanted more.

No. There had been an increase in witchhunting in Scotland around 1590, fifteen years before Macbeth was written. King James himself wrote a book about witchcraft in 1597.

Such a thing did not occur in England until the Witchfinder General turned up in 1643 or so.

Why were there witches in Macbeth?
Macbeth was written and performed for King James. Shakespeare wanted to please the king, so he wrote a fairly short play (James liked short plays). King James himself had written a book on witches and how to detect them. For this, Shakespeare decided to add a supernatural twist to his play, as to please the king. Basically the King wrote a book about witches so Shakespeare thought putting witches in his play would please the king. Source: http://home.flash.net/~manniac/macb.htm
