From the Paper:

"This study will define and compare religion and magic, and will apply relevant findings to Hinduism and Buddhism. Malinowski, in Magic, Science, and Religion, writes that "It is in (the) distinction between direct control on the one hand and propitiation of superior powers on the other that Sir James Frazier sees the difference between religion and magic. Magic, based on man's confidence that he can dominate nature directly, if only he knows the laws which govern it magically, is in this akin to science. Religion, the confession of human impotence in certain matters, lifts man above the magical level, and later on maintains its independence side by side with science, to which magic has to succumb" (Malinowski, 1954, p. 19).


Noss and Noss, in Man's Religions, agree with Malinowski with respect to the basic difference between magic and religion..."
