God (YHWH) is very real and His sacrifice and resurrection is also true. That is the good news! On the churches and bad religion, you are not the first to be cautious and concerned about religion, 6 out of the 7 letters written by Paul to the churches are about bad religion! And it will get worse as the world religions come together under a false banner and antichrist. Make sure you have a relationship with Him (God) as trust in Him and His guidance is what will get you through and move you towards the Kingdom of God. God bless.
