You seem to have this image craig, that belief in a higher power, somehow means a surrender of one's free will. And while there are, no doubt, some who do, the overwhelming majority do not. Most see the teachings of their religion as a guide to their life. Just because I chart a course, based on my learning of tides, winds, and currents, there are many variables that may cause me to alter that course, or struggle to maintain it. Whatever course I follow though, will be the one which best incorporates what I have learned, and what I have to deal with.
There is no suspension of logic nor reason necessary. Neither does one need to repudiate the truisms of science. There is no conflict, except to those who are dismissive of religion. Sure, there are extremists, but they exist outside of religion as well as within it. To characterize the many by the behavior of the few exhibits neither logic nor reason.
