Lots of people do, dear one. Visit http://www.carm.org and you'll see just how many are unhappy with their religion, are finally asking questions and some are turning away from those religions they learn are false.
God bless!

Religion is a very difficult when you put human beings in the equation. You certainly can follow a religion and believe all of the tenets of that religion but be unhappy especially with the things that surround that religion. I am a Catholic. Have been all of my life. But I am really upset with the last two popes and the people that they have put in charge. I can't go to another religion because their basic beliefs are different. But with all of the human parts of the Catholic religion at least in this cycle, I am very unhappy with that part.

I think most people have reservations about their religion. How many Roman Catholics are happy with the birth control ban and the role of women in the church? Many Protestant denominations have similarly wacky rules that few followers can totally agree with. So, if your question is about whether it's possible to say you follow a religion without being happy with all its rules, the answer is yes. If you are asking a philosophical question about whether you are really following the religion by not believing in the whole thing, the answer is no.

Sure. If your religion is not the truth of YHVH (and clearly most are not) then the Holy Spirit will be telling you that you must move for your life and health. If you choose not to (the obvious example is Saul- who later was called Paul- persecuting believers) then you will be less than happy.

There is no joy to be found in any of the three Abrahamic religions, yet the majority of people belong to one (or more) of them. So I must say it's possible for a lot of people.

Yes, for a short amount of time.

sounds like it may not feel right, so you are unhappy with it, which means, the person should start looking for one that feels right :)
