To go back to religion/Christianity even with no faith?

[AsItWasAndIs]

I grew up always identifying as a Christian; I went to a Church of England primary school and kind of accepted everything they told as the truth, even though none of my family are religious. During my 20s I have gone back and forth with it. Some years I have been religious, and other years I have been an atheist.

I have been an atheist for a few years now, but every once in a while I feel called back to want to pray and read The Bible. But I second guess myself and deep down I don't think I believe in God... But I have found life so hard, with such low self-esteem. Having a religion has helped me so much in the past; it has gotten me through so many difficult times in my life.

WIBU to ignore the fact I have no faith at the moment and just go back to religion and hope the faith returns with time?

I don't disagree however I've known some church attendees to add in their own special blend of being a bitch/arsehole judging others.

thats also partly why i distrust the texts that have been rewritten etc

Consider reading Religion for Atheists: A non-believer's guide to the uses of religion by Alain de Botton

I don't believe in any religious texts now, but I did spend some time convincing myself thatcone was quite significant. The judgement from some church members wasn't always related to biblical stuff though.

Oops, that should say 'that one', clearly nothing to do with any sort of belief in cones.
