I'm not a religious person, but I study Buddhism and Taoism. I'm re-arraging my schedule though, so I can go to the buddhist temple near my house and check if that's what I really want for me.

yeah for me buddhism also fits a lot of the criteria i need for a religion. most of all its that there is no creator "god."
