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?
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.
