What options are there for someone who wants to become religious/spiritual?

Recently I've been considering different religions and the most compelling one I've considered is Christianity so far.

Just interested in my options really.

>Wants to become religious
This makes no sense, OP. Religion has only existed this long because it gets drilled into people when they're impressionable children. How do you wake up one morning and DECIDE to believe that magic is real and the devil's gonna get you? You need a therapist, not a priest.

I'm curious. What is it about Christianity that interests you?

Don't focus on finding a religion unless you're seeking a religious community OP. I've been seeking a religion for years until I realized that wanted faith but disliked virtually every community for various reasons.

Read the major literature of the world's faiths. The Bible, The Quran, The Daodejing, etc. Or if they have no major literature then learn about their beliefs online. Doing so will let you make a more well rounded decision if you're still looking for a religious community because many of the ones today don't practice real faith and only exist as echo chambers, so knowing what your chosen faith truly means and represents will give you an advantage in avoiding those.

Christianity is fantastic, but since it's so huge and has literally thousands of diverse communities, it would benefit you greatly to do your research. At the absolute minimum read the Bible (a priest recommended to me the NIV translation for first-timers) and reflect on what it means to you. You'll find that many Christians have never done anything more than shuffle through a few pages at random which is really unfortunate given the fantastic wisdom that can be found in that book.

I wish you a fruitful journey pilgrim.

Matthew 6

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

I'm with you
I really want to be religious
But I look at reality and all that I've known
And all that tells me that religion is hollow

I want to believe
