Why do I still feel attracted to religion?

I myself was a Hindu for 16.75 years, but when I started questioning everything, an empty void started in mind. My mind still sometimes wants to believe again. Why is that? Because of childhood memories & will I ever be able to overcome it? Why do we strictly want to just believe sometimes and not become a skeptic(maybe using brain all the time hurts) everytime?
