Religion and me

Lately religion has been coming up more and more for me. I was brought up Baptist. Though my church was in NYC we were part of the "Southern Baptist" chain so basically VERY Extremely conservative.
When I turned 18 I ran for the hills and avoided all religion though it was all around me. I women with all sorts of religious beliefs and upbringing. Now I am married to a womna who has been raised Catholic but considers herself "spiritual". I too consider myself "spiritual" but I really don't feel like that is enough.

I find myself search for the higher power. It is hard to discuss it with guys around me because the friends I hold close all have different views on religion. One is an adamant (yet respectful) Atheist, another is Muslim, Another I don't know what he is, I have some christian friends and another fried currently considering converting to Islam.

I have one friend who has been go over bible teachings with me for the past few months so that I can actual learn what it means to be a Christian as opposed to being told "BE A CHRISTIAN". Yet even with that I find myself searching. Part of me likes what I know about Buddhism, another part of me is interested in Islam then there is the side of me that i comfortable in Christianity.

I feel like I am shopping for faith in a way. I just find it interesting that all of this is coming up for me now. I feel like part of it has to do with the fact that I am no longer angry at the world and God for that matter.

I don't where I will end up but I find learning to be very helpful and I plan to learn as much as possible before I go any further.
