I did a lot of thinking on this and it eventually became the basis for my entire philosophy. Ever since "discovering" that free will was an illusion, I became a firm believer in fate. Consider that, perhaps, there is only one possible outcome in the universe, which in turn would mean that everything we're doing now is geared toward a predestined event. I had never been very spiritual, but suddenly I was looking at seemingly insignificant things and seeing them as part of a magnificently complex structure. Suddenly, there was a reason for everything to exist: to do its part in insuring our fate. It made me very happy.

Of course, I've since realized that even a purely logical religion has its flaws, as logic is a tool of man, and the things that men create are almost certainly fallible. The concepts of "Cause" and "Effect" are mere illusions, born from humanity's all-too-linear perception of time. The order of events as chronicled by human memory is of course a valid sequence, but not the only one. Since THIS realization, I've felt that the only thing we can truly trust is our intuition.
