If you're still here, I'd be curious to know what you meant by this:
magical thinking like that contradicts the fundamental notions of religion.

I would note that in >>39 he does not appeal to observable evidence, but experiential evidence. The shift towards grounding religion on what came to be known as "religious experience" came after Kant, most notably in Schleiermacher. Proudfoot's "religious experience" is a good overview of this. However, there is another option which Kant dismisses without any hint of an argument: so-called "Intellectual Intuition", a kind of direct perception into reality itself. Revelation is another source of justification if you're into that sort of thing. None of these have anything to do with faith, though revelation is a bit trickier (but one finds attempts at it from the Mimamsa all the way to Rome) and can be justified in terms of faith, although very few theologians historically have actually done that. It seems to be more of a layperson thing.

Ethics is very nice! I'm personally more fond of his Tractatus, though.
