It's not the least bit ridiculous. I recently wrote a research paper about this exact same thing. Good for you for having the courage to question your beliefs!
You don't have to be a religious extremist (conservative, fundamentalist, terrorist, or whatever term you wish to place here) to have a relationship with God. You don't have to agreee with everything the Koran (sorry if I spelled it wrong), Bible, or any other religious book says to have a relationship with God either. Most of these books promote wisdom, and open-mindedness/tolerance is wisdom in and of itself. God created you, He understands :]
Being raised in an extremely conservative and intolerant Christian family, I went through pretty much the exact same thing. Don't be afraid to question your beliefs, and don't be afraid hold onto your opinions even if they don't match what you were taught to believe.
Is it normal to be completely confused about religion?
