i would also like to say the same basic thing. i have spent three years of long study on religoin and philosify on my own time (since i was 11). i wouldnt call myself a religious person, i commit 3 sins (at least) before i get out of bed to eat. i have yet to find a religion that suits me in beliefs and purpose. many have come close, but never as good as it needs to be. my cousine once asked me to go to church with her. when i declined, she said, " O well, i wont be the one going to hell, and burning for all eternity." I was only 6 years old, and she scared me. that turned me away from organized religion for good. i guess the closest thing that i am would be an agnostic. i think there is a god-like figure, but i dont give a rat's ass what anyone calls it.
