My thoughts on religion

Religion has always been really interesting to me. I have always gone to church but not because I truly want to but because I kind of have to. My aunty being a strong believer in Jesus Christ, rather a fanatic, likes it when I go to church and almost forces me too. Just recently I have started to question what am I 'serving' and praising.
Religion is a huge part of society today, and there must be something that keeps people believing. I would never know, I have never had an experience with God or something along those lines. It seems to me that a main reason why Religion is a big part people's lives is it is an answer to the unknown, or life after death. What happens after death? Where do you go? Are you born again? Death brings up many questions, and none of them can really be answered. However Religion gives an answer. It tells you their is a heaven, nirvana, or whatever place your religion calls it. Living a religious life is sort of living your life by guidelines or rules to help you to achieve the right to go to this 'place' [and not hell] after death. What confuses me is when people fight or discrimnate agaisnt other religions. Like the Sunni and the Shites, that is stupid to me because they believe in the same God and are the same religion. I know that they believe in different versions but shouldn't religion be about peace with others not turmoil? It bothers me when people discriminated agaisnt other religions just because they don't believe in the same God. For example my aunty thinks that any other religion, even sect of Christianity that is different than what she believes in is evil. This is silly to me because generally I think that every religion believes in the same moral values. Religion is good to learn and practice moral values but it becomes discriminatory or somebody becomes a fanatic I think that is too much.
One day in church I felt like an outsider looking in. It got me thinking, is it healthy to devote and WORSHIP something that could easily not be there, or exist, something that you will never see until you die, perhaps you do not even see it when you die we do not know, no one will ever know, atleast while they are alive. But I also listened to the pastor say, "if you have any question on how to become a member...." and that sparked a question in my head, a member of what? I thought church was something you could come freely to whenever you wanted to learn a good lesson, I didn't know it was something you could join. The pastor also said something about sharing your experience with God, so perhaps I need an experience with God, to help me devote my life to him. But then I started to wonder about tithes and offerings. It is strange to me how the church takes your money, but you are "offering" [to God?] and giving it to the church, so it is a good deed because you are giving it to the church right? I don't know. Church and money is an interesting topic because you can look at history and see that the church has been corrupt before, like in the medieval times when people would pay the church, because they thought all their sins would be washed away after. My aunty also use to give me money when i came to church, and that is messed up to me. I mean church should be something i want to come to because i enjoy in it not because i am forced and because i get paid.
I wonder what all the Gods must think of our world. They must all be up there, looking down at us, shaking their heads because we are all fighting against each other. Or maybe there only is one God, I mean we never really here his name or identity. Does he even have a name? I only see him as 'God.' Perhaps every religion believes in the same God. But no matter if there are Gods or just one God he or she or they must be disapproving our world today.
