Welcome to the lion's den, rlp. I haven't heard of that reason to believe one is following it properly before, usually it's something along the lines of 'my sect interprets the scriptures correctly'. Thanks for giving us some credit, part of the path that led to me winding up an atheist was the realization that I wanted to believe what's true, even if it's not what I want to be true.
Good luck, some theist members have been around a long time and have earned our respect, but it doesn't always turn out that way. If you keep the beatitudes in mind, you should be fine.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
