Leave me to my cards

The difference between actual biblical and/or religious belief and my dabbling with astrology or cartomancy is that although a person can be aware that these practices based in superstition and psychological play do not have certain effect on reality those who believe in the bible take it's word for absolute truth. I am not going to fight a war based on my horoscope, likewise I am able to make my own decisions about important choices in my life. Although checking my horoscope or asking tarot cards reassures my very human fears of a loss of control I am still aware on a base level that only I can decide how to lead my life. Religion also gives people that comforting sense of having control (by praying or other rituals) however, especially monotheistic religions, do not leave room for disputation or an over all sense of doubt in the methods.
A horoscope can provide insight or draw attention to issues that may have been buried before (when your natal chart tells you you're impatient, even if its inaccurate you still debate whether you are or are not impatient). Religious creed on the other hand requires a sense of righteousness, you must believe in your god and that your god is leading you on the right path. In other words on a lot of levels you must believe that other peoples views are wrong. This is not an absolute truth of course, but it is practically impossible to avoid.
Acknowledging this it always irks me when people ask, usually in a ridiculousy incredulous tone, "How can you be aethiest and stil believe in all this horscope bullshit??". Spirituality/superstion is not the same thing as religion and equating the two is much like comparing a cold with cancer.
