About faith & religion

I've been raised into a catholic house -- especially on my mother side. I used to go to church and all the things that a christian is supposed to do
Then I started having doubts.A lot of people say they don't believe in God because they look at the worls, see the disgraces, the pain and the suffering so they can't accept the fact that God exists, because they don't see His signs around. They say that, if God was there, there wouldn't be all the mess we're going through on the earth
Some go further and say they don't believe in God because all the things people do in the name of religion are crazy: some use the crusades and the people put on the fire because considered heretical as an example.
Some others say they don't believe in God because they think to WWII and to what men did to the Jews and they can't accept the idea of a god permitting that.

Religious people use to reply that, in that very moment, God was crying for his sons and daughters.

Others wonders how can we be sure we're right believing in God when so many people believe in, for instance, Allah?

All these are good points, and you may agree with all them or with some of them.
I suppose the main point is what you feel?
You feel that there's something above us, with a masterplan and projects on everyone of us?
The way I am not a religion girl is that: I don't feel it.When I was younger (I'm 21 now) and I went to school, we had religion lessons and we had a teacher who could demonstrate the existance of God in some ways -- of course, dogmas were involved and you would have had to give some things for true.
I made some objections but I was probably too young to make such a conversation.
I am sure that, if there's a God above, he/she won't be happy if we pretend to love him/her.
Your heart and your soul can tell you what you feel about it.Nothing else.

All the words in the world will be useless if you do not feel you have faith inside you
