I would recommend reading articles and texts on this site. http://montalk.net/

Giving yourself labels or identifying yourself as belonging to some made up "group" is limiting yourself. Because you identify yourself with this label that has rules under it, rules that allow some directions and don't allow others.

My advice is to try and get rid of, eventually, of identifying yourself with any labels. Find your true self.

but I am trying to figure out my purpose in life and what religion or path suits me best, or what may potentially be the correct one.
The best and only truly correct path that suits anyone is that which comes from within oneself. Not one that comes externally. I mean religions and paths like "Christianity", "veganism", and whatever else such. They are not your paths, they may include qualities that correspond to some of your own personal qualities, but as a whole they do not fit.

You can use such external paths to help yourself find yourself. See what qualities of those paths fit you and you agree with, and which qualities you don't. And always ask yourself "Why do I agree with it" or "Why do I disagree with it?" Personally I don't have to ask these questions, mostly they more like come automatically... as in I go straight for the answers without asking the questions.

I kind of believe in God, but i'm not sure.
Have you defined for yourself what a "god" is?
Personally I know there are beings of immense knowledge and power, etc. But I would never call them "gods".

I used to be a very heavy Christian, but left the faith because of some disagreements with things, such as Creationism, which has been proven wrong by science.
Creationism is partially wrong. That's where the disagreement comes from. But so is science partially wrong...

However, i'm not going to resort to Atheism under any circumstance, i've made it a truly worthwhile goal to find out a good spiritual path in this life.
Essentially, spirituality is about finding yourself. Finding who you are, what works for you, how you fit into the world and how the world fits around you.

So, with that being said, please, people of all faiths, give me your advice and take on this, and explain to me why you chose the path you chose, and why you think it is the truth, and provide evidence if you can.
Personally I haven't ever really given myself a label such as "I'm an atheist", or whatever else. If then only for a rather short period, up to a few months, and then I removed the label from myself because I noticed it wasn't right, it wasn't who I really am.

Giving yourself a label is limiting your thinking and senses to a narrow road.
