There is no point except for the point you give to your life . Religion helps people find the point of their life . But religion is not required to find it . There are thousands of nonreligious ways to make your life meaningful . You sound depressed . If you are having thoughts of ending your life , please get help . If you are in a Western country , like the US , there are many many professional services available . If you are not suicidal , but feel lost with your faith , I suggest a unique idea Visit a member of another faith , like a priest or other official . They often love talking not only about their religion , but also about ideas of faith . They probably will not try to convert you , but will give honest answers that you can use as a kind of mirror . Finally , my own view of the world is that through searching for answers , we are fulfilling our purpose in life . For me , the search for whatever I may be trying to find is the path to God . For me , God is not the ritual , nor the prayers , nor the rules to follow . God is the search . If you are actively trying to find answers , then you are getting closer to the point .
