Whats is the importance of Religion in ur life

I wish I was "Religious" and had faith in a personal saviour and protector etc. But really after trying for many years to develop some sort of faith I find it impossible to believe. I studied Philosophy and religion at University and find the entire subject fascinating, but I do not think it is necessary to live a good life. I prefer to follow ethical precepts similar to the Buddhist injunction of "Do no harm" and "Respect all Life"
