I have done enough research that I strongly doubt I will ever again be religious. That does not mean that I don't believe there is more than what we can see in front of our eyes.

believing in God means religion IMO.
organized religions are ok, the problem is their time. Jesus came 2000 years ago, Mohammad came 1400 years ago. the text in holy books are about those eras. so you can't measure them by today's scientific language. I believe in Islam, because I saw signs in it. signs of reality, signs of God. I know herk found it in Christianity, and I respect his choice. God is the same for all, God is God, everybody who believes in God, has a relationship with God, and knows God according to his capacity. this is exactly why we have different religions in the world, but hey, they all believe in God, and that's the point. even Buddhists have nirvana.
