Why do people believe in magic not in God?

Many people still believe in magic. In western culture, they cannot use that belief openly and directly to impact society or government. Many people find that science has removed the need to believe in magic as a way to interact with the universe.

Magic, the real magic, not the fictionalised magic of movies, books and games, not only still exists but is an integral part of many pagan spiritual paths.

Magic is in every birthday candle wish, sign against the evil eye, wish upon a star, good thought sent out, crossed fingers, candle lit for someone, good deed done in secret, and blessing of a person who has sneezed.

These things are still practiced to some degree in most of the world and therefore, admit it or not, most of the world believes in magic.
