For me, sifting the good from the bullshit has never really been an option. I think for a lot of people, at least for me, either you believe or you don't. I find that people always seem to assume that someone who's left religion has done so because of hateful bullshit, but it's often not that simple. I decided to leave the Catholic church because of its policies, but leaving was fairly easy for me because I'd realized I didn't have faith.

I've had the opposite experience as you -- I really wouldn't mind believing, but it's just not happening. There are some religious philosophies that I think are really neat, but I don't feel like I can follow them without faith.

For me, I started to question my faith after my father died. Not because I was bitter, but because it was the first time in my life where I had to think about what I believed. And my faith just didn't hold up to the scrutiny. I think when you start to question your faith, there are multiple things that can happen. Sometimes you come out of the experience with strengthened faith, and sometimes you realize you don't have faith.

Religion can be an amazing thing, but I don't think it can be amazing for everyone. Not everyone can find fulfillment through it at any given time.

I agree. Once you start to notice the cracks and the contradictions, it's just not the same.
