Being a science, Vedic Astrology doesn't take sides.

The type and quality of the Belief System is the question that can be answered: one seeks God in the church, another in a beer can. In our currently polarized Western culture, we have religions of all kinds: some are devoted and pray to pop stars. If the chart shows the person is devoted and conventional, then socially acceptable set of beliefs with a devotional component is indicated. Another person may be inclined towards a 'modern' or a foreign religion: Rahu in the 9th house is one indicator of this. When the chart contains a retrograde Jupiter the person is more inclined towards a religion that promises personal experience of the Divine: Jupiter is the planet of belief, the retrograde condition makes the person look inward. This last brings up the point of Religion vs. Spirituality. One can be spiritually inclined yet not be a subscriber to a particular organized religion. They are generally treated separately in Vedic Astrology, if we define spirituality as being more about rapture and personal experience of the Divine and religion as being more belief and faith.
