Explore the different religions and follow the path which best speaks to your heart and soul.
It may not be the path others would have chosen, but then, God didn't give your life to them to live. He's waiting for you to find YOUR path to Him, if that's where your path leads.

Why do you feel the need to get in tune with Religion? Religion is a list... a system of beliefs set down by others. Why not try getting in tune with yourself and find out what your system of beliefs are?

Religion is a tool by which we work to achieve spiritual goals. What are your spiritual goals? How do you experience the divine? Take a look at other religions and their beliefs. Do they reflect how you have experienced the divine? Do they reflect your spiritual goals? And so on. You have to ask yourself a lot of questions and take the time to look at the various religions out there and compare them. Write down what you believe spiritually. Write down what you believe regarding certain issues. Put stars next to those issues that you consider to be the most important (beliefs and issues, etc). Then take a look at the religions. Do you want an organized, structured religion? Do you want a religion that lets you do the exploring and it just is guideposts along the way? Are you seeking mystical experiences or just a way of worship and honoring of the divine?
Here are some good resources on the various religions that I have found online. There are links to other websites with even more great resources....and Yahoo has a great listing of websites as well in its Religion & Spirituality > Specific Faiths, Traditions, Beliefs section. And Wikipedia also does a good job if you want to search there...and it sometimes can cover religions or branches that are often considered 'obscure' like the Ayyavazhi for example.

Interfaith Calendar

(has great links to websites about religions, but gives a brief overview of many of them).

You can also try to find local places of worship like Hindu temples, ashrams, and mandirs to learn about Hinduism. Synagogues and Hillels to learn about Judaism. Churches to learn about Christianity. Jain temples to learn about Jainism. Gudwaras to learn about Sikhism. Mosques to learn about Islam. Buddhist temples and Centers to learn about Buddhism. Taoist temples and centers to learn about Taoism. Pagan circles, covens, groups, fellowships, etc to learn about the various Pagan traditions including many Pagan reconstructionism paths. And so on.
As you learn about the various religions, make sure to look at the list of beliefs and issues you wrote down and the questions you asked and the structure, your reason for a religion, your experience of the divine, your spiritual goals, etc, etc, etc and ascribe the religions a rating.
Peace be with you. May you find what you seek.

Don't become in tune with religion. Get in tune and get a relationship with Jesus Christ! Check out the New Testament!

Depending on which religion you are interested in, I would say read it's holy books, talk with members and clergy, make a few visits to see how things are.

First try to become more in tune with the ONE WHO GAVE HIS LIFE, that you may have eternal life, The FATHERS ONE and ONLY SON, JESUS CHRIST.
Ask HIM into your HEART, MIND and SOUL.
Ask him to forgive you of any mistakes (sin) You have made/ committed.
And then try and keep a daily prayer in your heart.
Read the Bible.
Get involved In a good BIBLE PREACHING / TEACHING church.
Surround yourself with others who TRUST THE LORD with all their heart, mind and soul..
Praise GOD!
When you are ready to come to, or come back to HIM, HE is ALWAYS awaiting you, or your RETURN; He will never turn HIS back on us.
GOD BLESS YOU
It is a good question.
open up your heart to GOD.
And HE will BLESS you.
