But then I see what religion has done to the world , it has caused wars, suffering repressed people like me so I can't bring myself to accepting there is a god when I see the state the world is in.

What kind of God would allow the boxing day tsunami to happen? To allow HIV to become a pandemic? To let little kids be born in dire poverty?

Wanting a god and wanting a particular type of god are entirely different things. How about wanting a pantheon? Perhaps better a warring pantheon so they are preoccupied with each other and leave us alone.

To narrow your choice only monotheism is used as a cause for war although the frequency of wars does not appear to differ for polytheists.
