Can I be spiritual?

I've wondered about how I should approach faith. I was a non-practicing Catholic for many, many years and I realized I did not like the church. I could not bring myself to believe their story. I turned away from it and began to despise religion in general, specifically the churches that represent them. I heard so many stories and opinions throughout history and in the present that just reflect poorly on religion.

However, I am open-minded. I am willing to learn about what is out there so I can perhaps move away from identifying myself as agnostic. Wikipedia describes agnosticism as "the view that the truth value of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity but also other religious and metaphysical claims—is unknown or unknowable" (accessed 3/9/11). This is truly how I feel.

I could just settle on being Christian or Catholic. I have many friends who are and they are in love with their faith. They are happy and they found a place where they belong. I just don't think I can believe it all. I don't think there is room for settling when it comes to choosing a faith. Maybe I'm just ignorant.

I wanted more information, so today I did a quick Google search and found a personality quiz about my spiritual beliefs at beliefnet.com. I haven't read through the results yet, but here are my results. Maybe I'll just drop it all, but maybe one of these will inspire me to investigate further.
