59. A Methodist?
The church down the street from me, the one I went to when I was at my grandmother's house, mainly taught from the New testament, minus all that Revelations stuff. It was a church about love and acceptance. I actually liked that church.

The church at the school I went to claimed to be Baptist, but they were really more what you would call Christian Identity (think Eric Rudolph and Army of God types). I did NOT like them and turned completely away from all Christianity for years after that experience.

Now, I'm agnostic and take from a lot of religions what I see as useful in my life. I'm much happier doing that than trying to be "devout" in any one religion. It's just my own way of doing things.

From what I read of your OP, it sounds like maybe you do the same to some degree. I wish there was a name for it, but I do not know for certain what it is, if there is one.
