One of the problems I would face if I wanted to re-adopt an organised religion is that they're package deals. I may admire the basic tenets of your faith, but I want to participate and not just admire from afar, I also have to accept unthinkingly a lot of other things that my thinking mind considers undemonstrated rubbish (such as "our holy book is the law and all the other books that call themselves holy books are not" ... how is this so other than "Because we say so"? If I pull out a piece of paper and write on it, "This is the Word of God", how do you know it isn't except that you're just cocksure of yourself?).
Ironically, this is how religion classes in Catholic school made me an ex-Catholic.
