I am catholic. I have tried hard to keep a strong faith but I cant. I have started doubting my faith a lot lately and sometimes i think to myself "i am going to make a new religion onee day." I think i doubt it because in school we are learning about medieval italy and how the catholics treated other people. And in science i am learning about evolution and that is totally against my faith but i believe it more and more. Each time i learn something new at church, I always find a way to say its not true and i always find a way to not believe in it. I pray to God for him to give me lots of faith but its not working. I dont wanna tell anyone because they'll hate me especially my family.
What do I do? and How do I deal with this?

You must follow your own heart and your own knowingness.
No one can tell you what is truth or what to believe except your own heart!

You only need the faith the size of a mustard seed,God will help you.We all go through moments where we feel we dont believe.The word says God is the author and finisher of our faith.Have you been through something very painful,often that shakes our faith in God.Just go to him and tell him as you have been you are struggeling.I will pray for a stronger faith for you as well.Just keep praying honey,and ask others to pray for you as well.Be blessed and loved by your God and mine.

Dear child,
prayerfully read first John (not the gospel of John) and read it again and again as there is much to be learned, study it, and ask God to help you, Jesus told Peter, I have prayed for your faith because Satan has desired to sift you like wheat =
I am praying for your faith to be strengthened~ask Jesus to come into your heart and life by His Spirit and stay in the Word
God loves you and He is your Father and He knows the enemy is doing to you what he did to Adam and Eve in the garden, causing doubt of God's Word ~His Word is truth

You are investigating and contemplating instead of following blind faith. This is a good thing. You will find the answers you need if you keep looking.

You can't help what your personal intelligence tells you. How do you deal with it? Start looking for other options, other explanations, facts, then and only then will you be able to make an informed decision.

Either find a different church whose tenets more closely match your own beliefs, or accept that you simply don't believe.
Either way, it's your life.

Study, learn wisdom, compassion and altruism... the rest is gravy.

First of all, do you believe in God?
If you do, then ask Him. He has promised that He will give us answers when we ask.
If you don't believe in God, then good luck.
