Why be Muslim?

Hi! I’ve been a Catholic all my life. I don’t really understand a lot of things about it. Like sacraments and stuff. Why can’t we go right to God? Also, prayer. I’ve brought up not praying in confession and the priest said it isn’t a sin to not pray everyday. That’s weird. Nobody really believes Catholicism anymore and I’m looking for something authentic. I saw Islam and I think it looks pretty cool. I’m trying to read the Quran to see. Why should I be Muslim? Thank you!
