My best friend is a christian and am embarrased to tell her that I am interested in learning about the 5 percenters culture which I think are of Muslim religion, but I have boyfriend who won't find a religion because he feels like he wants to know why should we believe everything in the bible with no proven facts.
I have also read some what about the Nuwaubianism.
How should I go about studying about these cultures and finding the one right for me?

Satan is leading you away from the truth. Christianity is more than a religion. Its the Truth. If you study Islamic teachings, you will lose your soul as well as your friends also no one will ever trust you or listen to you again. The trip to Hell is very painfull. Pray.

As you consider and seek and compare, these are some of the things to look for to find satisfaction in your spiritual quest.
Consider looking for what is truth, where you can find forgiveness and love, and a life after death.
Look for something that is verifiable, historically
Seek what will calm your fears, cause you to love others, give you hope and wisdom, and be something you can hold on to when your life is going through turmoil.
Hold onto teachings you can live by - treating others well, rejecting dishonest - evil & disrespect.
Within you there is a "God-shaped vaccuum" find who/what will fill your emotional-mental-spiritual hole.
Seek a God who hears your prayers and is able to answer you and provide his presence to you in your moments alone.
Who, hates evil, and loves what is good. Where there is justice.
Find others with the same belief that meet together - where you can find out about life - and forgiveness - and be encouraged by others - find a place where people are real about their problems and sins and struggles and where they can genuinely express their emotions - and where your questions are welcomed. A place and a group of people who look to God who provides and cares, rather than to a person who dictates what and how you will think and live.
Think about how you want to raise your children - when you have them. Find spiritual answers for your questions and theirs.
As you seek and consider, look for books by Josh McDowell, he does well at explaining historical verifications (Evidence that Demands a Verdict)

I was raised a Christian but realised in my mid teens that I didn't believe in it at all.
I advise you to do what I did and read about the beliefs of as many religions as possible.
Find 1 that as you read it just feels true to you.
It took me the best part of a year to find Celtic Paganism but I haven't looked back since.
Find a faith you believe in-good luck.

First...don't look for religion. Look for the truth, and it's not always comfortable.
Second...Be careful of just following fads like scientology and Kabbalah.
Third...be careful of following people instead of the truth. It's easy to do.
God bless

It is natural for you to want to fill the spiritual vacuum you have.
God put it there so that we would seek him out. Why not ask your friend to invite you to her church, and check it out. You can explore beyond that, but it would be a good starting point.

Talk to clergy from various religions, id avoid anyone who seems like they want to pressure you. Go with the one that most exemplifies your ideal way of life.
