Should I look into religion?

Okay, again, not the type of person to seek out stuff like this but man I am feeling lonely and I need another persons thoughts on this.

Basically, I have a very dear childhood friend that is a very big orthodox christian. I myself am a huge atheist, I wasn’t raised religious and I was only taught the basics of it but it never pulled me towards religion and things like that. Maybe that’s a good thing, maybe it’s a bad thing, I am not sure.

She noticed I haven’t been myself for quite a while now and has been trying to get me to open up to her about it all. (all the stuff I talked about in my last post.) I just let her know I was dealing with some stuff and struggling quite a bit and that I was feeling exhausted and kind of at the end of the road. She recommended going to church with her and devoting myself to a higher deity but I am not quite sure about the idea. She has been pushing me to try it and I don’t know if I should. I really don’t feel like trying because I have a very huge gut feeling I’ll be wasting my time.

What should I do? Will praying and getting closer to religion help in any way? I highly doubt so but I am quite curious what anyone has to say about this. Please let me know what you think.
