Given the large number of religions and even the misrepresentations of the those religions there are, "growing religious" means nothing to this approach. Religious actually would be opposite to this approach, because, it just assumes one's religion is true without proof or investigation into other paths and religions.
See, Jesster, even though you were sincere in your searching, you obviously were doing it wrong, so god ignored you. Must not have read the fine print...
