My Religious Orientation!?

As far as I am concerned, though I am born for Hindu parents, I constantly question the priest's of any religion and the king's or government head's role in improving the economy of that place by building massive religious establishments and getting attention and bringing tourists to their place by spread of rumors of the success of those who worshiped that God. I am neither an atheist nor an agnostic nor a firm believer. I am just in pursuit of making my self believe in a supreme power with no name. It is not the Hindu religion I question; I may have questions and answers for other religions and customs as well. I consider even an abominable practice of perhaps a religion or a tribe created by them for their very own survival at some point in time even if they are contemporarily irrelevant and obsolete. But we cant go and start educate them for it may invite an offence by that community for they are used to be comfortable and confident with their practice and anything to question that would be considered an offence. Hope that explains my religions orientation. By saying so, it doesn’t mean that I am anti-religious. I do also believe in adapting one of the pre-established ways of merging my soul with a greater soul - if at all one exists as the concepts explain. And I think its cool to be part of a society at times whether they have a belief similar to your are not. Who knows there may be many out there who perhaps have the same idea and still participate in orthodox religious activities just to relate themselves with their near and dears. May be I am no different than those hypocrites - if they are called so and if they don’t have any other term in dictionary. Keep me informed if you know any better term than the one I use.
Cheers!
