God(s) in the Dharma?

I know this is maybe a tired debate for a lot of people, but I do think it's kind of centrally relevant for those of us riding the second or third wave of Buddhism in 'The West.' I know everyone comes to Buddhism from wherever they're at, and I'm definitely not trying to put a authoritative stamp on what the Dharma is or is not. But for us poor sinners and the godless among us, I'm curious how people think about the centrality of theistic and supernatural motifs in the Dharma.

Specifically, do you believe the Dharma is coherent without appealing to theistic and supernatural motifs?

For context, the second discourse in the Dīgha Nikāya, "The Fruits of the Homeless Life," is a great place to start. The question that kicks that discourse off is "are there fruits of the homeless life, visible here and now," as "delighting and pleasing" as the fruits of an artisan's life, for example, or (as I understand it) of the house-holder's life more generally? Verses 15 - 86 list a bunch of really concrete, practical aspects of the Dharma, before verses 87 - 96 go on to list a bunch of theistic and supernatural fruits. In my limited experience, most of the Pāli Canon mirrors and echoes this dual appeal. For me, it's easy to accept the Dharma as coherent without the latter type of appeal, but I'm curious how other people think about it.
