The relationship between you and your god is a personal one. Religions may give a general idea about the god or goddess in a group of people to help build that relationship as an individual. It's kind of like a starting point.

I do not believe a religion should affect someone's magical workings; however, I do believe it is the person's choice to believe certain aspects that belong to that particular religion. Every religion has it's downfalls to someone's own perspective. Your religion can affect your perspectives and thoughts on areas of other religions because that is how you were raised and what you lived by. Every religion is a belief by humans and it's your choice to go by the wordings of a group of people or from one man or woman.

I view magick as a natural thing that occurs to everyone rather or not you practice it.

Some of the most well known magick systems were created by Jewish and Christian magicians. Have you read the old grimoires?

Eliphas Levi is among my favorite past magicians and authors and he was a priest excommunicated by the church due to his writings and practice. His views were very Christian but he was also an incredible magick practitioner.
