Finding Faith again

Growing up, I was raised Catholic but we were never religious. At about 6th grade, I decided that there was no God and that religion is all made up. Now, at the age of 18, I've become mature enough to understand that there can be a place for religion and God in my life even when there is an apparent "lack of evidence" to support it, this being called having faith. Now that I'm mature, I've figured I wanted to get back into Christianity, or to be more precise, go through some exploration between myself and religion in order to develop a stronger sense of understanding and faith towards God.
Upon looking back into getting into Christianity, I've gathered that Catholicism is apparently corrupt because of Vatican II, some of the actions of Pope Benedict, and also given that they pick and choose what laws of God to enforce. I'm leaning towards Orthodoxy as it seems the most faithful to the intention of the Bible but from what I found, there aren't any nearby Orthodox parishes within my city so I have to look at neighboring towns. What should I look into and look out for?
Also, how do you keep your faith even when there are some opposing views and "evidence" against it? Why do you believe in the religion you believe in and how has your faith confirmed that what you believe in real?
