Many religious people would argue that it is far lazier to choose a belief because it is the way you want things to be, then to stick to tenants you may not always agree with, because you have the faith it is right. Doubt is natural and fighting it takes more energy than believing in something you WANT to exist.

I want something to be out there, a reason for existence besides being nothign more than physical components and some random life, but there is no way I could choose a religion because anythign I choose would just be me imposing the way I want things on a world that seems to be anything but that. Therefore if I looked at Wicca and thought, hmm, that makes sense, I wouldnt' become Wicca because me wanting it doesnt make it true. So i'm without a religion until God talks to me or something happens that I FEEL is the irrevocably the truth

and Drifter.. sorry but I dont see you being baptized and losing your religion as giving you the authority to declare all religious folks weak-minded.
