Hi Dark, I know the feeling. I'm something of a universalist myself, study religious texts regardless of the religion in question and some of the people I know find me, well, a bit eccentric because I haven't settled on any specific religion. Each claim to be the one true religion, that their values or beliefs are somehow more superior to the rest, but I don't see it that way as I see both good and bad in all of the religions I've studied. I guess that is the difference between philosophers like you and I and someone who has adopted a religion.
Cheers!
