I took several world religion courses in college because I myself was unsure of where I stood. I grew up Muslim, but attended Catholic school. Growing up in Bangladesh I was also very familiar with Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Eventually, I decided I believed in God but that all major religions in the world had been warped by humans. I mean, they all offer a significant amount of positives, but can also be twisted to many negatives. So sometimes, I guess the reson behind the confusion is the person trying to figure things out on a larger scale...beyond the academic. I hope this made some sense! :) Interesting observation.
