Sikh Religion. I have been a Sikh for 25 years. I have studied the Sikh scriptures (Siri Guru Granth Sahib) and have practiced Yoga for just as long. Sikhism is a comparitively young religion (500 years) and so its history is not clouded with legend. There have been splits within the essential beliefs but no major ones and there is very little that all Sikhs throughout the world could not agree upon. Being a convert and a Westerner, my view may be somewhat more "rigid" but I can guarantee that all points of view are rationally considered.
Experience in the area
I have been Sikh for over 20 years and for most of the days within those years I have practised what I have preached.

You say, "written by the hand of humans (the Gurus), and not directly from God." But is not everything which happens most directly the work of God? Sikhs believe God to be everywhere and at all times and

That depends on whether we are PREPARED to die. Have we lived our lives in a sacred and righteous manner. Are we AFRAID of death or do we merely expect that it will happen and not be upset when it does
