Well in that case you can skip about 80% of what would have to be answered to the rest of your questions. your questions actually cover several years of study if the answers should be complete.

Pastime, to have something to believe in, to socialize with other people equally interested, some people need ethical guidelines and try budddhism, etc etc.
But you don't have to become a buddhist if you are just looking for some inspiration as to meditation or philosophy, to try out something new
