What ELSE have you read? Christian perspective is not the be all end all of religious thought.
I too have given up on the dogma of 'religion' yet I still find the need to feed my soul.
I am spiritual not religious.

Agreed. But I choose to "fill my brain" with books I feel contain more wisdom, rather than "filling my soul" with mysticism. You can learn a lot about other religious thought through history, etc. And being spiritual is kind of a catch-all term. I am deeply inspired by the writings of Thoreau and other naturalists. Is this spiritual?

Nietzsche said it well: "Mystical explanations are considered deep; the truth is that they are not even superficial."
