For many years I often thought about this, some time flights of fantsy or given it a serious thought. Then I often thought hay but did Jesus performed very powerful magical abilities, even Moses, and the rest of the prophets. How about the other adepts and saints who used and manifested magical powers. So I thought and made a bias opinion that magic is not religion but and I mean a BIG BUT. That magic is a spiritual energy that was suppose to be used for spiritual ends and aiding our fellow man. For example Jesus taught his disciples must use his techniques to heal and exorcise. Magical powers was used by the prophets and patriarchs of the bible but it was not religion it was the manifestation of there devotion to G-d. They used ceremonial magick in religious ceremonies. They new how to interpret dreams, use battle magic, heal, etc but it was not religion but part of there spiritual tool box.
This goes forward to the grimiores. I once read from a grimioric magician that the grimiores has nothing to do with spirituality and that we need to get rid of that spiritual nonsense. He is utter wrong because the grimoires are set up and written by very spiritual men. The men and woman who practice the magic/k from the grimoires were very Pious and spiritual people and that it was a manifestation of the religious and spiritual believes. It is religious magic at its purest. If one does a deep study of the grimoires you will find out that the ceremony to summon the spirits, no matter which type of spirit it is, it is always a religious ceremony. The prays, psalmody, confessions, names of G-d etc is the use of religious ceremony to summon the spirits. Everything that is used to summon the spirit from the candles to the aspergillum to the sword is a spiritual tool that will be used in the ceremonies to manifest the powers through G-d.
So when we look at other religions for example, we find out that many religions used magic/k as part of there religious believes and had no problem in it use as part of there religious belief. When we look at for example the magi of the Bible were Zoroastrian Priest who practice magic and astrology and were scholars as part of there priestly duties from healing, exorcising, battle magic, interpret the stars to aid leaders and people who needs answers. In Egypt the priest also were known to practice magic and they did the same, This goes for just about any religion from Judaism to the pagan religions in the far north. So is religion Magic. NO. But magic/k is a spiritual power use in worship and to be used to aid and help our fellow mankind.
