	You don't have proof, you don't have faith. All you have is some kind
of commitment, but it is not clear whether it is to get faith or proof or what.
	It seems that what you have is a situation of convienience, sort of
hedging your bets. I can hear you thinking "It couldn't hurt just in case 
there was a God", no real choice being made here.
	I think you _should_ go back to your religious group. If this is what
it has come to today, its a sorry thing.
