I know exactly what you mean and I think you're on the right track. I can't stand organized religion because I think people should believe what they want to believe and that we should all do unto others because we want to be good people, not because we don't want to burn in hell. Religion has also caused so many wars and deaths and it divides so many people when really, we should all just not give a shit about what other people believe.
You don't need religion in order to be spiritual. It's a lot more common than you think. All of my friends feel exactly the same way I do, but I surround myself with liberal people because I normally can't stand Republicans :) Not on principle, I just normally don't agree with them on anything that I think is important, so I avoid them.
Anyways, just keep on doing what you're doing. You seem like a really cool person with a good head on your shoulders. Keep an open mind and if there is a God, I'm sure he would appreciate you living the way he would want you to without begging for his direction every five minutes.
Is it normal that I have no religious beliefs?
