Religion and Beliefs

I'm not a very religious person.  I was raised with religion in my family, but it never really drew me in.  I believe that religion is to give people a deeper meaning, which is great.  But what if your perfectly content with your life?  Why do you need a deeper meaning?  
People go through all these practices to feel a part of their religion.  This gives them peace of mind.  I do not feel a need to feel apart of one particular religion, but I do embrace all religious beliefs, and I am fascinated by certain aspects of each one.  I think it is interesting how simular these religions and their practices are, but feel separated from each other. 
I embrace religion, but I am not convinced of any that apply to me.  I look to look at all religions and apply them to the here and now.  I do find many practices sill, like communion, and so I choose not to formally practice these rituals, but rather just have and build my own faith that I can relate to.
