They feel like there is something more to us than what is ordinarily available to the senses, something spiritual, but they just can buy into the whole religion deal. I think a lot of that kind of thing comes from your kind of experience. I was at the same place for much of my life. I went to a fundie church when I was a kid because my dad made me and later rebelled against all of religion when I got old enough to speak for myself.
