    I have this site, MagicTemplate.com that gives free Christian templates for download.

    I have about 7000 uniques per month.
    87% of my traffic comes from search engines, mostly Google.
    The rest, kind of 50/50 from direct traffic and referrals.

    Any suggestions how to increase direct traffic?

    Direct traffic? (traffic without a referral link?) or relevant traffic? It's more easier to increase your traffic from a referral source..

    Offer a visible "bookmark this" button ?
    And put a link to Social Bookmarking tool on your site.

    It encourages user to bookmark your site and to visit your site directly from their bookmark.

    Direct traffic like in NOT FROM A REFERRAL but from writing the address directly (or bookmark, thanks cherry_yuya - I have such features just that I might need to enhance them a bit)
