Yes it is a religion and Christianity often practices war that is used to kill others

Are you saying God - Allah allows practicing of dark arts?
Have religious freedom? Not according to some.
"On Saturday, July 16th 2022, the Witch’s Fest event held in Astor Place, New York City (NYC), was invaded by a group of evangelical Christians who clearly believed that their religion was the only one which should be followed."

Also, something the GOP and conservatives, (maybe even the Originalists) should take note of:
"It is important to muse upon what Mr (Thomas) Jefferson had to say about the First Amendment:
“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof’, thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.”
It certainly appears that the original spirit of the First Amendment was that everyone should be free to engage in the religious practices that best suit them.
You probably don't sacrifice babies but what makes you think some groups do not?
You mean like spiritual pain secrets?
That's exactly a paradox, accusing someone for harmful black magic is not regulated by the law AFAIK,You can't force a witch hunt without proof.

and even if it is, good luck proving it because you won't be able to.
Therefore the law is not a solution by design, police can't help you with this stuff, so what options do you really have left?
suffer in agony or witch hunt, what would you choose really?

I'm sorry. As an LHP Abrahamic, do you not trust that your spiritual guides, ancestors, or God; can help you in the case of spiritual attack?
Mine do just fine at countering "black" Magick. Maybe try different Gods?

The same can be said about physically beating a person "don't you trust God will protect you". But believers I pray will all again weapons and unseen shields by the talents they have by God's grace, and be able to slice and dice whatever comes their way inshallah.
When Iblis forces are all burned, they aren't coming back, unless they want to turn to ashes as well. The believer has potential, God doesn't force it, it has to be awakened by faith and love of God.
No, because I don't expect my Gods to intervene physically on my behalf. Spiritual protection does not = protection from a sucker punch.
Salaam Alaikum

Gabriel (a) if he wanted to, can burn all devils in a second. He won't intervene in that sense either, believers have to learn to fight and slice themselves as well.
There is also the mind battle ground. If we make the proofs and signs of God greater, we can use them in a greater way as weapons.
So the "conveying proofs" of light is important. Faith is important since that is the degree it sees and loves God's signs and proofs.
I don't believe you.

That's okay. God's chosen forces powers can't be compared to non-chosen, that's my view.
Odd because I've never been on mass where we would pray for destruction of enemies.Like people don't pray for the destruction of their enemies (or at least their minor inconvenience).
Witchcraft obviously was never in position to launch an invasion, so it's not fair to compare like this, but no matter who, once it's gets into power it will use it.Christianity led to the Crusades among many other evil deeds. Witchcraft did not lead to any country invasions afaik.
Witchcraft for most of it's part is indeed utter nonsense but there is much more to that.I believe witchcraft to be utter nonsense.
I also believe the utter nonsense deserves equal protection under the law.
We also eat babies and ride broomsticks to secret groves where we kiss Satan's anus.
At least we're having fun!
