However much one may wish it so, the Wiccan religion hasn't had much impact on the formation of Western civilization, much less America.

The posting of great civilizing principles in prominent locations is a feature of all great civilizations and cultures. Only jerks feel "pushed" by this, says P.J. O'Rourke.Jay D.
