I sort of asked this question shortly ago, but there's quite a few additions to that question here. I am a deconverted Christian (see other question for explanation) and I have assessed what I believe and want to know if there is a religion that fits my beliefs, which are as follows (in order of importance, starting with the greatest):
1. The supreme force in the universe is nature, which controls all life force. As such, nature should be treated with the utmost respect. God/esses are irrelevant if they exist.
2. All humans are equal and should be treated with equal respect (unless they exhibit a serious lack of good character). Humans should strive for the best character possible.
3. Humans should concern themselves with secular issues. We should strive to make the world a better place and progress technologically, but not at the expense of nature (i.e. don't destroy it and don't forget it).
4. (Real) Science is all true. Free thought is a good thing.

5. The afterlife is irrelevant.

6. The ultimate goal of humans in this life is happiness (but not at the cost of others or nature).

Shamanism. This is not actually a religion but its existence is still here since the early time before the Mayan. Early Red Indian traditions that even in the East have flourished where most Oriental beliefs were adopted. Ever taken a look at the Mayan and the Hopi Indians lately?

Sorry you have been deceived, but the Bible does say there will be a falling away of believers before the end. Wide is the road leading to hell and narrow is the road leading to heaven.

Your belief which you cut out to suit exactly what you want, can be your religion, if you insist.
Most religions were made to suit what somebody wanted - why not you, too?
After all, you are not asking for the truth, but for what you want.
Everybody should, and gets, what they want, from God.

Here take this test. You could also be either a Pagan or a Pantheist. You could also be a FreeThinker and a Humanist. You could also be Unitarian Universalist.

Paganism --Take your pick. It lets you choose exactly what you want to believe and follow.

You may want to look into Theosophy.

Athiesm, agnosticism.
Some people might respond Buddhism, but no, this is not buddhist thought.
