I would have to agree with HD.
What is that you are looking for from a religion?

If you feel the need to belong to an organized religion, I would go Catholic.
Keep in mind that you will have to jump through their Sacramental hoops, Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, etc....in accordance with Catholic Doctrine.

Have you thought Buddhism?

I was raised a Catholic and attended my first 8 years of school at a Catholic school. I asked many questions in religion class and got answers like "you just have to believe" instead of actual answers. I guess it is a good religion for those who don't want to be bothered with real spiritual growth. After many questions to the monsignor I was told to "sit down and be quiet". By the age of 15 I was a profound atheist but later in life became a pantheist.

Nothing wrong with catholic girls...

But why join a church? Read scripture and make your own mind up, rather than taking someone else's word for it.
