To me, religion is a set of fake beliefs that stop you from living life to the fullest. 'that's a sin', you have to pray, and all that crap.
In every religion, why is Homosexuality a sin? Why are things like sex before marriage, masturbation, and the like, consider sins? If god (who I believe in), is all forgiving, why create hell? Wait! If god loves everybody, then why is there such thing as hell anyway?
Most of these 'sins' you are referring to are outlined in a particular religion's holy book; and are also commandments, or rules of thumb, of that religions deity - which you claim to believe in...unless you've made up your own god.

If 'religion was real' then why are there only one? Why to people keep saying that the US is a christian country? Why do some Muslims (won't bash as my family are Muslims) kill in the name of religion?
People try to force people to 'choose a religion', people try to make and/or add laws that oppose of something they believe is a sin.
This is what happens when you have a poorly conceived and strangely non-evident entity. It will be open to interpretation, and have multiple variants depending on a person's, or group of people's, worldview.

Please don't bash, and I probably sounded really stupid in the post.
It sounds like you just want to believe in a god, but not adhere to it's rules. You want a free pass.
