Well, I am a Catholic Christian, but I suggest that you don't become one, because you will find several things that contradict each other and probably make you frustrated with the religion. Long ago American Indians worshipped the sun and moon because they brought light to help crops grow and light during the night to help them harvest even on late nights. That is kind of interesting, too. A faith I have always wanted to try is Buddhism. It is much like worshipping the Sun because that is the source of our life. You do a series of stretches and yoga exercises to emphasize the belief and to relax you. Strong Buddhists believe that if you treat all with respect and kindness and are in a peaceful state of mind, you have reached "nirvana". That means that you are in a peaceful mind and will stay like that and will live a good life. You don't have to believe in multiple gods or anything, but a really good thing about Buddhism is that you can be a bi-religious person; part Buddhist and part- anything else (I do not recommend being part Buddhist and part Christian; it isn't allowed in the Christian Church). The thing is, there is a way that everything got how it did today, and Earth didn't start by itself or anything; so therefore a stronger spirit-like figure that controls the universe and the super-natural world (which yes, does exist, as some serious scientists say). Christians call it God, and the Indians of the 1700s and 1800s called it the Great Spirit. Call it what you like, or say that it is not there, but whatever you do, good luck! :)

P.S. I think that it is great to turn over a new leaf. As Buddha once said, "A life unquestioned is a life unlived."

P.P.S. Avoid cults.
