Losing Faith?!
Lately I have begun to lose faith in my religion and it's starting to bother me because I feel less protected, less comfortable. Kind of alone? What do you do when you lose faith in your religion? Any tips?
(I won't say my religion because I don't particularly think it matters... I'm sure a lot of people from a lot of different religions lose faith after a bit, but come back to it.)

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
Perhaps if you are losing faith in your religion then your current religion isn't really for you. I think it would be wise to simple look into spirituality and to focus only on happiness, peace and love. Just like the Buddha said, don’t believe anything unless it resonates with you within your heart and soul. Never take anything for face value. Dive deep within yourself and discover your own Truth and see what resonates with the deepest part of you. That way you won’t be fooling yourself or struggling to believe.

Lots of people start losing their faith. I can use the example of Christianity. People start pulling away from God because they start losing faith. They don't feel close to God and they don't read their Bible. So like the person below me said, get into whatever you do for your religion. You shouldn't put your faith into actual religion. I don't know what religion you are but like if you believe in God then you should put your faith in Him than the actual religion. But you get what I mean. Good luck!

Pick up the information the religion is based on and begin to read. For Christians, this is the Bible. That is where comfort can come from because you can better understand why things happened or are happening to you and other people.
If your religion doesn't have any documents you can turn to for basic, hard information from a reliable resource then I can only suggest finding other people interested in your spiritual beliefs and discussing the religious aspects with them. This is why church is very important to many Christians--because it gives them a chance to connect with other people who are going through their same problems with the religion and helps them know they're not alone (and helps them find guidance and answers).

I think everyone loses faith or questions it as you get older. I
know I did, when I lost a friend. I think it's really good to question your faith, your religion. I'm one of those people that dance to a different drum, I do things my way and I'm an open thinker. I don't really follow any specific religion I've actually mixed a bunch of beliefs together from christian belieft to Wicca. Do you think your athesist.. Or agnostic?I think you should question your religion, open your
mind to other belief systems and see which one works for you. Maybe it's the religion you have, maybe it's tottally different kind, or maybe it's no faith at all.

If we can't question our beliefs then we are just accepting what someone else has told us to be the truth. Searchng for answers is a difficult journey, but one that leaves us satisfied when we discover the truth. It's easy to lose faith in religion, because religions are man-made. When we put our faith in our Creator, and develop a relationship with Him, then we have something that is rock solid and we are never alone or unprotected. Man will let us down but God never will. I hope this helps.
