My story is similar to yours.
I just believe there is a belief far different than how I was taught, that suits me at this point in life.

I am closer to athiesm or perhaps what the Native Americans believed in, being connected to the earth & sky.
Religion is symbolism & sometimes we need to detach from all symbols we were taught in order to come into our own.

Peace ~
