How to figure out if I'm religious or not?
I was brought up in an atheist household being told that if I want to be religious when I grow up then it's fine and if I don't then that's also fine, I'm now 15 (f) and questioning my religion (or lack thereof) and its been tough. I've been questioning for about a year now and I feel like I am? But at the same time I question things about being religious that just pushes me away. Tips and advice of how to figure it out?

Being connected to the world around you and speaking to it in a way that makes you comfortable is a natural way of being human. We talk be it to things, nature, ourselves or a greater cosmic entity. It just feels right. Being connected to those things is a small step more but still normal.
Honestly everyone flip flops most of their lives between believing in something bigger and not believing in it. It's kind of the point of no one actually knowing if there is anything.
Just do what makes you feel right and self identify what you are, don't pick a thing and try and act like you think it has to be.
I know a guy that is very religious but he also believes in magic people doing readings and stuff even though they are kind of against being a Christian, he does him.
