> becoming religious just isn't a realistic option

I was thinking exactly like that 10 years ago.

Until I finally realized that

1) people, be it enlightened priests or corrupted believers, have nothing to do with god nor with faith

2) faith is the most basic and fundamental feature of our human mind and the idea pf god is an ultimate pinpoint of this feature.

So being a reasonable man, i prefer to believe in something ideal and absolute, rather than any other limited ideas invented by specific people (sometimes with bad intentions).

So, like, religion?

Yes, you don’t _believe_ in religion. Otherwise you’re nothing but a stupid and dangerous fanatic.

You believe in god and religion is just a tool that helps you organize your faith and connect it to your everyday life.
