i despise religion. but i wholeheartedly believe in god the creator, the great spirit, the god of all gods. some call him jehovah, some call him allah some just call him god. 
due to the gift of free will mankind has this tendency to twist the word of god or other lesser deities  for their own benefit. this is what religion is. just someones self serving interpretation they made up using scripture to give it some appearance of legitimacy.
my advice is to believe in god the creator of all, follow the ten commandments love others as you would love yourself. give aid when you can. and read the bible, read the tanakh, read the koran. read the teaching of buddha and meditate on the words. truth and wisdom can be found in each.
