Worse is that any number of people who believe they can do witchcraft when they actually can't would be mentally ill. Thus encouraging the murder of mentally ill people for thinking they can do something they can't.

Right, so that's a whopping three times as many christians who believe in sorcerers than there are sorcerers on this planet, so far..at the least.
I'll be honest, I was kind of hoping you'd disagree. It would have been clutch....because then, only 66%ish of christians (in thread) believed in witchcraft. That would have been alot better for the optics. Guess we'll roll the dice again? Anybody else want to chime in, come on, daddy needs a new minority report!
