Christine, as usual you maul history. A belief in witches characterized pagan Europe. Just as in some parts of Africa and South America today, people feared having a witch cast an evil spell on them. These pagan beliefs made a resurgence in Europe around the time of the Renaissance, and witch-burning came with it. Despite your animus towards Christianity, it was your beloved Middle Age pagans who roasted your beloved witches. And they killed off the cats, paving the way for the Black Plague. Nothing in Christianity about pussycats, but there is in pagan superstition. Surely even you must know that the man who put an end to the lunacy in Salem was the town's pastor, who had been away in Europe when his charges went nuts.
