I feel a need to sort out my thoughts:

- I believe there is a God
- but I'm not sure if this is a Christian god
- I don't think religion necessarily makes me or people happy
- I think this religion has reined me in and has used and abused me

I'm moving on! I need to find something that makes me happier and truer...

Moving on to something that makes you happier and truer sounds like a fantastic idea.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I am dealing with a misogynistic paternalistic being who acts like a bully when it doesn't get its way.  It's really pathetic..This being doesn't care about my well-being and only really cares about proving a point.

Do you want to break out of the prison? How do you plan to do so?

Been there, done that.....it's up to you to escape the clutches of religion. I am sure there are plenty on this forum who will help walk you through. Great
