Apart from all the sophisticated arguments, of all the pros and cons, it all comes to one thing and that is faith.
Among the people of faith there are those with an extremely rare intelligence but there are also those who never read a word.
All we can say is that faith is a great gift by God to those who crawl in dust and are sincere just to achieve that state.

Some people would start at philosophy just to reach that state.
What I don't understand is that you have faith but at the same time you are worrying about your foundation.
If a building has finished and it stands then we can say its foundation is properly placed.
Why would one tear down this building to check the foundation? And how are you so sure that you will rebuild the same building?
Do understand that there's no solid argument against or in favour of religion, you will basically find yourself in a labyrinth of endless debates.
Take Imam Al-Ghazali (ra) as an example, he understood that true certainty lies in experiencing the unseen realities, not in endless discussions.

For me personally it started about the very essence of existence. I was blown away by the fact that I am, that I exist.
I could not water down this matter to a point of relativity. Naturally humans are purpose-seekers as has been established by social science.

I am only doing what is natural to me and to go against my nature, takes responsibility.
