I don't believe in any formal religion, but also don't consider myself an atheist or an agnostic.

I'm certain there is something more to the universe than what we can perceive with our senses. To explain this feeling people created religion. You can either subscribe to religion, so you can have a concrete set of beliefs, or you can accept that you'll never really understand everything.

It's much to accept the you don't know, and never will know, the truth about the universe. Hence, the popularity of religion.
