Sympathetic magic are icons, or imitations, such as the voodoo doll. You poke a needle in a joint, and that is supposed to cause pain in the intended victim's joint. Cargo cults in the Pacific, after WWII, built mock airstrips and airports in the hope of getting the planes to return.
In religion, a sacrificial lamb would be a possible example of sympathetic magic. The lamb dies as a substitute to avert our physical or spiritual death. Some faith healers palm chicken gizzards as "tumors" they remove from victims, in feats of prestidigitation magic.
I can't really think of good examples in main stream religions just off hand. Most of them tend to focus on spirituality rather than on the physical. The sacrament of the eucharist, eating the host, is symbolic--not really imitative. The same is true for baptism.
If you believe in creationism, that is the first religion. from a nonsecular point of view, the early African tribes in the paleolithic times practiced something called sympathetic magic. Sympathetic magic were rituals and dances that supposedly brought fortune to a hunt or encounter. Arguably this is the first religion, little is known about the practices other than this though.
it means magic that is un beliveable
It depends upon what you mean of sympathetic magic - but gods were of the spirit of elements and could call upon such powers of nature and magic.
Religion requires a belief in magic. Belief in magic does not require religious faith. There is no magic. So none of it really matters.
