I was big into it when I was young too. At one point I spent parts of Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at a church or bible study group. It's just that when I started learning things about the stories of the bible from sources outside the faith that I found it hard to believe anymore.
For some people it can really shake your faith when you learn that the story of Jesus is not unique. That hinduism is an older religion with a guy named Mithra who was also born of a virgin, taught with some followers, died, and came back three days later. Not to mention several other mythological people.
I was in the same position and learned about the same thing that got me out of Christianity

You do know the difference between petition and prayer correct? Prayers always get a favoriable answer, petitions do not. Praying for a mirical is not actually praying it is a petition.
What's the difference?

it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.
