Pick your poison. Some are less stinkier than others, but still poisonous. A little decent in them all though.
Going solo and on a self, inward mission can always be ideal.

Your religion plaque say's you're Jesuit. Doesn't that make you roman catholic?
Listen to the voice of the Pastor. He is the way, the truth and the life.

Pastor. Is he worthy of the grass he trods upon?

Hello @Shakazuluuuuu - are you really 15? I'm struggling to reconcile that with your "Jesuit" description - Jesuits are an order of priests in the RC church as far as I know. Anyway, welcome to RF.

Neither is one "new" nor inherent a lamb, how ever lambs always follow their slaver.
As for what re-ligion (re-bondage) to follow, best a ligion (one which one hasn't take on in the past), one that leads to liberation, unbound, for dependency is always subject of suffering. Only one strong bond (ligion) to those having gained liberation or headed toward it, is sure to find the end of the yoke, where also ligion can be abounded.

What religion to follow?
Make a list, or better said, a grid. Put down everything that is important to you on the Y-axis and all the religions on the X-axis. As you investigate all the religions, list what you find repellent also on the Y-axis. You also may want to weigh the pros and cons.
Now fill your decision matrix with data. You'll find that some religions (e.g. Christianity) don't give conclusive answers. Then you just split that religion in all the denominations until you get answers.
It may take you some time (i.e. years) to come to a decision.
Or you question your question and simply become an agnostic or atheist.

Hi, @Shakazuluuuuu . Welcome to RF.
We have a Seekers Circle area, just to let you know.

We're not allowed to tell you which religion to follow as proselytism is not allowed here.
Welcome to religious forums @Shakazuluuuuu ! I hope you enjoy your time here and you find what you are looking for. 
In the line of anti-proselytising, I recommend the poster avoids Hinduism like the plague.

Hmmmm???? Must one really Follow to find God?
If one does choose to Follow, one must be very careful those one Follows has really found God. If they have found God, they will never ask you to Believe anything. They will point you to where you can find God for yourself.
Personally, I think everyone is capable of finding God. On the other hand, I find few who actually want to find God. Even so, it is still all OK! As I see it, finding God is not what we are all really here for.

Although I am loathe to recommend the internet for answers, in the past I found this short quiz to be rather revealing. It is the- yes, it's real- Belief-O-Matic quiz, hosted by Beliefnet.com. You'll answer about 20 or so questions ranging from your belief in the nature of God to your thoughts on abortion or reincarnation and so on. When you're done, it compares your responses to the teachings of 20+ different faiths and religions and shows you where you best fit in based on your answers. The key is to not answer with what you've been taught, but what you actually believe.
Very interestingly, though, in my former days as a Catholic I took the quiz a number of times, and I consistently scored very high with either Islam or Orthodox Judaism, with Roman Catholicism coming in very low on the totem pole!

Wrong phrasing of the question, you first ask "which religion will follow me?" and all will fall into place.

Oh great- here I am delving into Catharism and this morning's result on the Belief-O-Matic puts me at 99% for both Hinduism and SIkhism with no form of Christianity higher than 85%! NOW WHAT DO I DO??? LOL
