I've always liked the concept of religion just for the fact the it provides comfort in not knowing the 'unknown.' The weight of questions we can't answer are lifted by the idea that it's all in 'God's hands' or part of his plan. I too was jealous of religious people just for that reason. However not jealous of the ignorance and blind judgement it can empower people with. I accepted religion was not for me, I can't force myself to believe in something. Brainwashing is not something to wish for, but finding peace and being true to yourself is. I have found some solace in reading the Dhammapada, a book of Buddhist scriptures. You interpret the writing as yourself, and apply it to your life in your own way. I'm by no means a Buddhist or religious person but I can connect with the spirituality found in these writings.
