Determinism has been dead since Heisenberg's discovery of the uncertainty principle.

It's the lack of determinism that seems to bother the anti-science crowd.

Most major religions do not teach determinism. Christianity posits that man was created with free will - something not possible in a deterministic world (though the illusion of free will could be). If you are referring to Christians as 'the anti-science crowd,' then you're off the mark.
