I don't think it can cause religious issue, it is even port
prototype, not working stuff. I don't think it is right direction
to hold stuff only because it can offends some peoples, in this
way we restrict peoples which found it useful. Better way can
be based to legal/illegal aspects than personal opinions. From this
point 1) as I know astrology not illegal in any country, 2)
we already have illegal stuff such as encryption.
