I did that for many years until I had a crisis in my life and realized how powerless it was to really help me. Perhaps you're diffrent but I need a sense of spirituality that I can "stand on" and that will bring me comfort not only thru the omnipitent presence of my "supreme being" here and now but that also gives me security with regards to my eternal soul. The only "affiliation" I value is the one that will save me.
