To the OP, I'd say study comparative religions. You can buy the books (it may only take one) and read them without attending classes at a university. The only difference will be that you don't have to take tests, except in your own mind. I had doubts for many years, and did my best to follow the program- lay volunteering, etc. But in the end analysis, it was difficult to let it go because of the stigma of what I had been told atheists were. If you accept other people's assessment of other people, you'll accept religion, because that's someone else's assessment of the world which could be completely wrong, or made up for some sort of personal gain. Some people believe, and ascend to high standing in a church (lower case, as I don't believe any is a "Church", in the way that the Catholics do).
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
