Anything is better than straight rouge.
Not helpful. Rogue is a very fun and popular class, let’s stop this silly dissing of it. Unless you really do mean that anything is better than wearing just red makeup on your cheeks.
Back to the OP- Well, the problem is, you take an extra level of another ¾ BaB class. Unless your DM allows partial BABs and Saves from UA, you lose a BAB. You also lose access to Rogue talents, Sneak attacks, etc. What’s your WIS? Now, if your deity has a cool weapon or a Domain that really works then go for it.
If I was going to dip for a Rogue, it’d be Fighter or ranger.

Rogue, as a non-spellcaster, is great for multiclassing. (I'm running a Cavalier/Rogue... hey, I just heard somebody's head burst!) Inquisitor isn't a bad choice but - as DrDeth points out - the only really good time to "spring" to a different 3/4 BAB class is after 4 levels in the first one. Level 5 wasn't going to improve your BAB (or saves, generally) anyhow. However, if it makes sense in story to spring earlier, go for it - just bear in mind you'll eventually want to be Rogue 4 / Inquisitor 4 for mechanical reasons.

If you are a finesse* character, then you can take a nice deity, and judgements like healing allow you to be even harder to kill (which is often a problem GM's don't have much of with rogues, IMO) and take a fun domain like fire to gain more usefull ranged attacks. If you are a str. rogue you can take domains like destruction or strength and do more damage. It seems like a win win.
*Don't play finesse rogues. high str. rogues have proved to be 10x as effective in my experience.
