Tobie, you misunderstand QM.
Take a look at Dr Daniel Dennett for "consciousness".
The Quantum Physics explained for laymen is actually nothing like the reality or math involved.
The wave particle duality isn't really a duality but this is the best word that can be used for non-scientists. If the average man is a circle, QM is a Square.
You can only approximate a square using a circle.

Personally, I try not to mix philosophy and science. They are not the same. But I do use the same cognitive mechanism when trying to discern between truth and fallacy and that is: logic and reason.
So I think the real question should be, what is the relationship between logic and quantum mechanics.
The belief in god or not does not effect the validity or fallaciouness of a topic.
For example: whether or not you believe in god, you cannot use that belief to disprove evolution. With or without god, evolution happens.
Another: with or with out god, you cannot use either belief to assert that diabetes does not exist. Regardless of belief, the existance of diabetes has crieterea of its own and neither require the belief or disbelief in a supernatural power.
Obviously with the exception of the topic on belief or disbelief.

I never claimed to understand it - as Feynman said, if you think you understand it, you're doing it wrong.
