Because most Christians believe that wiccans worship the devil because they are partaking in witch craft.

More accurately, this is an extension of the mistranslated passage from Exodus.

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. (Exodus 22:18)

The original text uses the word, m'khashepah. It was translated in the King James version of The Bible as "witch," which is also the word Wiccans use to refer to themselves. The word m'khashepah literally means "one who uses spells/charms/potions to cause harm." It is common Wiccan practice to use the Craft (spells, incantations, and charms) in the practice of their religion. So, by extension, anyone who practices the Craft or who is Wicca (refers to him or herself as a witch), is a witch, and subject to disdain or dislike by adherents of Christianity.
