What matters is your practice rather than what colour robe you wear.

I think you will find that the basic 5 precepts are simply a logical extension of Buddhist thought. So far as texts go, you could try this:

Buddhism makes the most sense to me, no doubt in part because it requires less blind belief than most religions. Although many people like to believe supernatural stories about the Buddha, none of that is necessary for the system to work. Indeed, ideas are secondary to practice: Works trump faith. I can get behind a philosophy like that.
