A lot of times I see people who are very hostile to the idea of religion, especially organized religion. If you've also met people like this, how do you justify your religion to those who are anti-religion?

I guess I never felt like I had to justify my religion to them. I'm seeking Wicca because of my experiences, and if they don't have something that has called them to a path- I can't blame them for not being part of a religion.

I guess I just don't really engage them.

Now, this is an interesting question for me, as I'm not really a huge supporter of organized religion. In my opinion, people need to find God on their own. Some people find God together better than they do alone, though. I dunno, I think this is one of those huge argument-causing questions (no offense intended), and I don't feel like arguing today, so I'm just gonna leave what I said.

I don't really bother. If they're making big generalisations, typically I don't think they're going to be swayed by any argument I would make anyway, so I don't engage.
