Professing a belief in a deity makes just as much sense as
astrology--which is not much.

Not necessarily. It is possible for a scientist to believe in a
non-interfering deity as a matter of faith, and there's no
contradiction with science. It's only in accepting a deity that
produces miracles, or taking literally much of the allegory found in
religious writings that can't be reconciled with science. The latter
is logically equivalent to astrology, the former is not. No scientist
can be a biblical literalist, for instance, any more than he can be an
astrologer.

Whatever......
