One can logically conclude that there must be a God and seek him accademically... but if they aren't being drawn... it's just religion.

So true!
Some are drawn to religion because the set of rules gives them "peace" that they are accomplishing what THEY want, to go to heaven and please God. Then they must find security in believing the "others" are NOT going to heaven, because if they are where does that leave them? They are doing all this for nothing and their leaders are lying to them. Okay, don't think about it, just keep following the religion.
Being drawn to God, instead of religion, causes us to have peace because we feel God's presence and don't feel a need to perform for him. We naturally do what pleases God when HE is the one we are communing with.
