Perhaps I should have mentioned that I was not raised as a Christian, and am not one now.
I was raised as a reform Jew, but abandoned that tradition many years ago (though I did have a bar mitzvah).
Then I would say two things:
First, these principles and statements would still apply. For if you feel reverent, as you say, what are you feeling reverent toward? Toward God, presumably; and if you acknowledge the existence of the supreme Author of the universe, the guy who invented quantum mechanics and DNA and the galaxies, do you not truly wish to draw closer to Him? To find the path that will unite you with Him? Even to do His will, which must surely be better than your own? If so, if you are a logical and thoughtful person, you may want to consider taking further steps beyond talking to Him.
The great apologist C.S. Lewis, whose simple little book The Case for Christianity I heartily commend to anyone who is curious, says that organized religion is a sort of map of the spiritual/psychological world made by many brave and noble people who have explored this territory for millenia. He speaks about people who get spiritual feelings from looking at the crashing waves of the ocean, but points out that they can't even begin to sail cross that ocean without a chart, and organized rellgion is that chart. It's the combined wisdom of people who are far closer to God than we can ever hope to be, enlightened and inspired by His Holy Spirit as they taught and wrote. It may feel a little less exciting and spiritual than moments of watching stars over the mountains or seeing the morning sun sparkle on my stream, but it is taking us to a place where such transient pleasures are pathetic by comparison.
Don't misunderstand: I would not for a moment discourage you from moments of closeness with God found in a graveyard or anywhere else. I'm saying that there is more, and it is worth seeking.
