What are your thoughts on the concept of having faith in a Higher Power but choosing to distance oneself from established religious doctrines?

Hey, so I believe in a higher power but I'm not on board with any particular religion. Anyone else think it's cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?

Thanks mate! I've been studying Islam, Christianity (my family is religious but tolerates different beliefs, so I have a mix of both worlds), as well as Buddhism. However, none of these religions really grabbed my attention.

Metaphysics is a blind man in a dark room, looking for a black cat that isn't there. Religion is the blind man shouting "I found it!"
