May I ask what does make you 'buy in' to a religion? I've probably got this all wrong, but it seems so strange to me that someone would 'decide' to follow a certain religion. Presumably, it's not like you are looking for something to believe in, and then pick a version that appeals to you? What other than upbringing makes on 'choose' a faith?
