I know exactly how you feel. I've managed to feel home at a Southern Baptist church, and even though I know a lot of what I believe in doesn't match with the Bible, they make me feel welcomed regardless and they're normal people; I even went drinking with some of them! So even though some of their beliefs don't match with mine, I still go because it's the first church I've felt really comfortable with.

I heard about Unitarian Universalism and was interested in it, but for me my main thing is to just be in a church I want to be in, regardless of what other people may tell me. They respect each other, and that's the important part, at least for me. But if I wasn't already a member, I probably would lean over to UU because of their foundations and beliefs.

I, personally, feel I'm much stronger when I base a lot of my faith through prayer, because I think God will talk to us most clearly through praying. I do go look to the Bible at times, of course, but I do not take everything literally because they're issues I don't agree on. I always felt that since the Bible is written by man, and man is a sinner, that there can be some material that maybe wasn't supposed to be written in it.

Anyway, I'm proud of you and how strong you are in your beliefs and your faith more importantly. Keep it up and you'll always be strong in Christ.
