I don't know how much I can help, because I'm Jewish, but I think that it is very important to find something you can believe in. Faith, while not altogether logical, does offer people hope, which last I checked was still a good thing. I was an atheist for a long time and after awhile it didn't make any sense. I couldn't go through life despising other people's belief systems. Where I draw the line is when frauds like Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell, and basically any type of religious extremist (be they Muslim, Christian or Sikhist) try to use their faith to belittle others and elevate themselves.
