I am a Chrstian Magician.
The Non-Christian tend to be folks that are either A. Not Christian because they were born in households of other religions or B. Got burned by it some way or another (grew up in some Christian fundamentalist sect or whatever), of course i am not saying all are A. B. Just that from what i have seen those are the most common, so they don't care or despise the faith.
Christians are mostly just ignorant of magic, they either think it's the work of satan or not real, some will just blindly keep believing one of the two and a few might actually learn about it and discover that it's something they're actually into.
Sometimes the Bible mentions to not dabble with magic, but that magic is sorcery/witchcraft, many characters in the Bible do use white/high magic, and the catholic church was full of magicians during medieval times and the reneissance.

can you tell me some?
When I looked into the grimoires of Pope Leo and Honorius it seemed debatable whether they can be attributed to them or not.

Ali was wondering the same thing, then approached it from the linguistic side. The evolution of Latin over time tells the story of a predominantly clerical magician class. We can tell from the few grimoires and the Latin in which they were written that have survived that they were educated by the clergy, as clergy.

Also, the rules of the universities (usually to train new clergy) tell us a lot about what happened. You're going to have people making up shit rules wherever you go, but if there's a moratorium on alcohol for a couple years, that's usually because theres a lot of drinking incidents. Just so with the clerical universities and their rules against necromancy and demon summoning.
