PuhLease: You state that you have great faith in G-d, just none in his people. (thanks for answering my question BTW) Does that make your current position of “unreligious” in transit? Having faith in G-d requires more than just saying that G-d is great; it requires a tremendous amount of energy into keeping His mitzvos. It seems to me that you would return to religion right now if you had two things:
a) a loving community
b) the right amount of time to ease your pain from being abused the first time around
You and I both know that not all Jews are corrupt, hate mongering, zealots. There are plenty of good acts that Jews do unwarranted that you would not find in the rest of the world. Chaverim, Hatzalah, Shomrim, a million Gemachs etc. It will definitely be hard to accept this after being abused emotionally (and physically) from the many that you know. Yes, I know that many Jews have faults, though we do live in a low generation where Right may be perceived as Wrong and vice versa.
If you do have any sort of plan of “starting over”, I would suggest you take each step slowly, as to not overwhelm yourself.
I am sorry in advance if my post is disrespectful.
