Greetings,
This is a really interesting discussion.
I’ll be brief with my thoughts. I think a big misconception is that Magic is a religion … it is not. It is a science that studies the laws of cause and effect (whether you draw “power” from God or Nature is irrelevant). As such it can be incorporated into any religion. We must remember that yes the Church looked down on Magic, but at one time it also frowned upon many other sciences (astronomy, chemistry, etc.). As has been posted, in the end it is a matter of personal choice – if you are comfortable working Magic in your religious tradition than by all means do it.
