in the absence of religion you may get influenced by bad ideas
This is sounds very reasonable to me. I do believe, whether God exists or not, that I'm much better off for having the moral system I do. These are ways to live good and they really do lead to a good life...at least that has been my experience thus far.
Also, your advice about patience is wise. So many of life's confusing aspects change or resolve with a little patience. I fear though that in this case it may not be true: this has been the growing feeling I've had for at least 10 years.
I appreciated the link on Nirguna. It's something I'll have to think about a bit more.
