edit: also, often times if i just come back to my breathing and remember the present moment and meditate, im a lot more at peace. i feel peaceful and happy and buddhism also just feels right. its not just the meditation that feels right, but the things i learn from buddhism. so buddhism makes me happy but im also confused and kind of interested in other religions.

Just like you said, you don't have to choose right away X3 You have years and years to think about it and research and do whatever you think is necessary to find something that you're comfortable believing in. If you like biddhism, you should definitely stick to it, but that doesn't mean that you can't poke around at other beliefs.
But yeah, like blossom, I'm also a christian and have grown up under those beliefs. (just sharing cause i think it might help you get a look inside other religions). The biblical stories are all really nice, though so so so confusing, but they're comforting along with the thought that there's a God watching over you. So I guess like buddhism, it comes with that comforting, calming feeling. There is that stupid stereotype of Christians being horribly rude or homophobic or sexust, much like blossom said, but honestly, most christians you meet won't be. Another thing that most people tend to look over in the bible is treat everyone else like you would treat yourself so that means acceptance of all people and yeah. I don't known if this helped at all but you never know X3
