I read that this is a Church that encompasses other religions i.e. is tolerant of them. Any opinions?

I have always had mixed emotions concerning "shopping" for a church that fits my life and encompasses most of my beliefs. But I have to give pause because it seems a bit like being a fish out of water, because I have always been careful not to throw myself head first into any religion for fear that it may not be "The Truth" I know this may sound ridiculous to some who may say that "it doesn't matter what faith you are, because your spiritual path is your own." I guess I was reared to be mainly Christian, so I gravitate toward a Christian Church - not that I necessarily believe in it per se (in fact, I feel that much of the Bible seems myth and allegory to me), but that it is sort of a system that is logical to my spirit in one sense or another...Still there is a wondering that because I may not be a full believer, I am in, a way, a fraud.
Perhaps a sense of belonging should be good enough - so long as one realizes that the organization one is engaged in is not a cult, as most large religions of antiquity claim not to be. Perhaps Christianity has divided like cells, some cancerous some not.
