It's as silly as any other religion.
It's nowhere near as harmful as the Abrahamic religions because we don't have such huge numbers of adherents clamoring for, "Death of the infidels."
Religion is not inherently evil. The problem is when religion corrupts a significant percentage of the population so as to cause them to act in such an irrational way that they move society in a detrimental direction.
I have as much intellectual contempt for those who believe Wicca is real as I do for those dozens of Americans who wrote angry letters to the US Coast Guard and even their congressmen in the 1960s who demanded that the castaways on Gilligan's Island be rescued. I'm not kidding! Look it up!
It is important to chose your battles. Your resources are limited so it is important that you only expend them against those opponents who pose a genuine threat.
The idiots in the USA who take Donald Trump seriously are a legitimate threat to humanity so we need to expend our resources against these idiots. Idiots who think Gilligan is still trying to chose between Ginger and Maryann (Maryanne, obviously) are not worth any treasure.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
