Virtually identical, Fulfilling similar needs, lots of adherents, no basis in reality, no requirement for critical thinking, and harmful if taken too seriously!

Religion is a mindset that there are certian things you can do to go to hell which may be true. But each one has gone so far off the mark about some of the things they say will send you to hell that I am not sure anyone really knows anymore. I think that there should be more people just trusting and loving God and having faith rather then gathering every sunday to be told everything they shouldnt do . everyone has to get right with God in there own way .

Yes.
Its more organised and wealthier.
Its ruled by more prominent people and they can step into politics if need be.
It sells itself as the universal truth rather than spiritual advice compared to astrology.
It need not be troubled about the removal of pluto as a planet.
It doesnt come daily in the newspaper section that is usually regarded as trivial. instead it comes with really cool books called bibles which make it sounds really credible

The three wise men who followed the star to find Jesus were Astrologers.

No. Both are reliant on mystical, mythical happenings, and both bring comfort to the feeble minded.

Astrology doesn't proscribe moral/ethic codes of behavior, for one.

It gives people pyschological comfort, even if it isn't real. I don't think astrology does that at all.
