Have you tried talking to your pastor? S/he's probably the most qualified person to talk to about crises of faith.
But I do have something to say on the subject. You said you don't want to be like the Greeks, ignorantly believing in false idols all their lives. I can understand that sort of doubt. But that perspective already implies that you believe that the Christian God is the one true God. If you find comfort in that knowledge, then you've already won. Christians call this feeling Christ's love. Or, at least part of Christ's love.
If you want to believe, then talk to your pastor. Do a little research about your religion. Do research about other religions. Figure out exactly what it is about Christ that really speaks to you, personally. Also, take a break from stressing about it. They say Christ is always with you. Maybe if you stop constantly worrying and thinking and trying so hard, the spirit will find you.
But most of all, for the third time, I stress - talk to your pastor.
"With God nothing shall be impossible." -- Luke 1:37
