Really? I think it is quite basic.

Imagine that magic is like programming.
Ideas are the programming language.

So if you are a programmer and want something done you might want to use a programming language that is widespread so you can get help easier, since everyone already understands that.
So you choose Christian magic, because like C/C++ everyone knows about it so you already have the basics ready for it.
But that also makes it easier for other people to understand your code, so hacking it might be easier.

You can then choose a more obscure language, it will be harder to do something but less people might be able to hack it.

Then you can to make your own language, but WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? WHY?
