What my belief classifies into?
0
I'm an Ecumenist but don't believe highly magical parts of religions, however, I use little magic but those that got little reality on it like Chi Kung.
What's me then?
But I'm pro religion alright?

Curious and Wondering
I think you're still somewhat an Ecumenist. But since you believe in the principles behind Qigong, you still hold on to your original ideal/belief, crossing out the parts you don't want or need, and adding other principles that suit you best or which you think is true.
You're into one of the definitions of religious pluralism.
Religious pluralism is a loosely defined expression concerning acceptance of different religions, and is used in a number of related ways:
[list]*As the name of the worldview according to which one's religion is not the sole and exclusive source of truth, and thus that at least some truths and true values exist in other religions. [/list:u]
[list]*As acceptance of the concept that two or more religions with mutually exclusive truth claims are equally valid. This posture often emphasizes religion's common aspects. [/list:u]
EDIT: Religious pluralism extends also not only on religions as a source but also on old traditional beliefs and practices, such as Qigong, Dim Mak, Feng Shui, etc.
Religious pluralism may be synonymous with ecumenism, but ecumenism is more precise in itself as a word than this, and as said, religious pluralism applies in some other different, more broader uses.
You're still a pro-religion, as ecumenists are pro-religion.
