That alone will disqualify a lot of religions.
And that should take care of the rest. Are you sure it needs to be one of the organized religions?
No religions or cultural tradition is a monolith. This comment is a generalization.
If it wasn't for my belief in the people I've lost, that they're In a better place, then I would have never have decided to try and better my life. My dogs for example, who passed a few years ago, are why I'm trying to turn my life around. I don't think it NEEDS to be an organized religion, but I ultimately just don't know. I know that my loved ones are somewhere were they are safe, happy, and at peace, and that they're encouraging me not to give up. I was a militant atheist for a long time because... I was angry at the world for feeling like a mistake, like a burden.
I'd like something, that tells me on a spiritual level, that I'm not, and that despite these hardships, I'll be okay. I don't know who to talk to about all this.
