So yes, you are rejecting man-made religion, which as you put it is a con-trick. I also reject it.

"Being forced to read the bible as a ten year old kid" - obviously without anyone who was able to understand why it connected with the real world you were living in; I've heard this story repeated so many times from thousands of people. Yet children much younger than ten have been (and are still being) taught properly from the Bible and a number of them have grown up to become highly educated individuals at the top of thir field, still with a deep respect for God's Word and read it daily for wisdom, guidance and strength.
I reject all religion

I find the evangelical lot even worse than the Catholic stuff I was forced to listen as a kid
