I can't make my own decisions.

I hate making decisions, too. I'm tired of it.
When I chose to follow Christ, I can now make decisions based on His principles. It's like He's my northern star guiding me when I DO need to make a decision. Hard to explain, but when Jesus guides your life....you know it!

WoW it is very tempting to promote my own beliefs here,,,
however that is not what you asked.
So, i would suggest that you read up on the major world religions. and see what you think, if you find one that suits you then go with it.
however if you do not, then i would suggest looking into Paganism. People that are not satisfied with the doctrine and practices of the major religions usually find great peace in the worship of the ancient gods.
I know that i did.
but this is a choice that you must make on your own.

What do you mean you can't make your own decision?
Simply read the bible and make your decision from there. If someone introduces you to a religion or church that does something against what the bible teaches then they are a false prophet.
Read & make your OWN decision.

Learn to make decisions. Learn to think about what is important to you, and what you personally believe. And then either find a religion that matches your beliefs, or just follow your beliefs independent of label.
If someone else had to pick a religion for you to follow, knowing nothing else about you, I'd recommend Unitarian-Univeralist. It has the least dogma, and requires the least conformity, and there is the greatest chance that you will find something there that matches what you believe.

All religions through various writings, both sacred and non, can be proven to worship the sun-god. Even some in the Judeo-Christian tradition can be shown to worship the same throughout history.
The question is do you want a "religion" or a "relationship"?
Jesus Christ offers you a relationship which culminates in eternal life, while those others, although they won't admit it, lead to everlasting death through the worship of Satan as the Sun-God. The proof for these claims is right here on the internet, and all it takes is someone who is willing to search these documents for these truths.
For those who don't believe, try me. I'd be glad to share my list of those documents with you!

You shouldn't follow religion. That is working your way to God. You should follow Jesus Christ because knowing Him as Lord and Savior of your life and growing in your relationship with Him will bring salvation to you. Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God. Christianity is a relationship, not a religion, unlike the others.

Athism.
God is not real, but imaginary, Read the 50 points that are on this website, it might enlighten you.
I also find it extremely humerous that people here are listing the bible as a source. This is like me saying I shall reference a book called "Santa's bad day" to prove that santa exists. You cannot do this, The bible (like "Santa's bad day") is not factual and has no proof that these events existed. Like Santa, the Easter bunny, Tooth Fairy and all those other childhood fantasies, God is nothing more than a figment of the imagination, a sense of false hope. You cannot list the bible as a source, it is not factual and tells a story, not a real event. If it was a real event, then prove it to me, show me the blood stained crusifix, show me any sort of proof that proves that what happened in the bible truely happened.

Follow Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life' no man comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
I'm thankful you want to learn about Jesus and Christianity. I hope what I say will be only a first step for you, and that you'll continue to grow in your understanding.
A Christian, very simply, is a person who has decided to be a follower of Jesus Christ. As you may know, Jesus lived in the Middle East about 2,000 years ago, and after preaching and teaching for about three years, He was put on trial and executed by His enemies. The Bible (our source of information about Jesus) tells us that three days later He came back to life by the power of God, and was taken up into Heaven. Someday He will return to conquer evil and rule over everything in perfect justice and love.
What sets Jesus apart from every other religious leader or philosopher? Simply this: The Bible says He was God in human flesh—completely man, but also completely God. He came to earth for one reason: to reconcile us to God. Sin had separated us from God, but Jesus (who was without sin) took all our sins upon Himself, and He died in our place.
Why did He do this? The Bible says the reason is because God loves us, and He wants us to be with Him in Heaven forever. It says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). I pray that someday soon you too will become Jesus' follower, by giving your life to Him.

Following a religion is a practice in futility.
Follow Jesus, He will lead you to heaven.
