Hmm - I'm in agreement with Ice on this one. I'm too much of a scientist to believe in organized religion. As far as organizing and patterns are concerned (referring to your butterflies), I'd call it nature - not religion.
I actually assumed that I would become more "religious" as I got older, probably because I saw other older people follow that pattern. It has been just the opposite in my case, I was more willing to believe in divine intervention of some sort when I was much younger than I am now. I appreciate nature in all its various forms, and some of it is quite destructive. I can't go as far as thinking that there is a higher being or a guiding hand "out there" somewhere. And in my opinion, the modern world's organized religions are one of the problems, certainly not the solution to anything.
