California may have to hire Wiccan chaplain

SAN FRANCISCO — California prisons hire full-time chaplains and spiritual leaders to serve Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, Protestant, and Native American inmates.

Comments

Wicca isn't a religion. It's a hobby.

and another reason CA is going broke. Amazing that such a dysfunctional state has such power in a Presidential election.

Actually Wicca is a recognized religion by the United States government for tax reasons. It meets all the criteria.
