Probably based on English Common Law of the time which took references to the King James version of the Bible: Exodus (22:18) says, Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. And Leviticus (20:27) says, A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood (shall be) upon them.


Why do christians hate witches?

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.
