A few things; there are many discussions of religiousness in this forum, and I'd recommend reading them. This is a pretty intelligent group, and the discussions are usually civil. But keep in mind that doubt is normal; the author C. S. Lewis wrote that he has doubts as a Christian, but then again, he also had doubts as an atheist. And there are plenty of people who are intelligent, rational, and Christian. The two professors I worked the most with when I was a Philosophy student were both very intelligent men, but one was Catholic and the other was atheist/agnostic.
