LOST?!?!?! Isn't the whole premise of the question rather inaccurate and insulting? I didn't "lose" god, I'm not checking super natural lost and founds hoping to recover god, or super natural bargain bins to trying to find a new deity. I was fortunate enough I was able to see past the indoctrination I grew up with and recognize the god of the Bible is just a myth. That's not a loss, that's a gain.
It must be very difficult to completely give up this god-centric comfort zone...
I never found it that comfortable. I spent many nights thinking about the billions(trillions+?) of people I believed were being tortured for eternity because they never heard or never believed. I spent plenty of nights as a child focused on the prayer instead of the belief and worrying I said something slightly wrong and would go to hell. As I got older I was uncomfortable with the idea of a heaven where my mind would be overwritten to never feel a negative emotion(what happens do you forget a ton, are you loaded up on supernatural drugs that make sad thoughts not bother you?). The simple idea of perfection bothered me. I enjoy competition, how do you compete if everyone is perfect? Christianity was never comfortable it was just what I believed.
What brings you comfort, now you know/believe all your prayers have fallen upon deaf ears ?
Friends and they actually talk back.
What now fills this void ?
Void? The only "void" is the end of existence when you die. I don't like that, I want to keep existing, but as I said heaven isn't exactly a great option either. "I" want to keep existing not have my consciousness transferred into a mindless praise machine. I was taught that if you believe in god and ask forgiveness for your sins at that point you are saved and will go to heaven. The good you do on earth will get you rewards(crowns ect) that you will then return to god and spend eternity happily praising god. Anyone you knew that died unsaved goes to hell and burns forever and you either won't know or won't care. Life doesn't matter, to quote the pastor "This life is the only hell believers will know, and it's the only heaven non-believers will know". I "lost" the rather dubious eternal "existence"(if you can call being so altered still existing) I believed I would have some day and gained a life that actually matters now. LIFE fills the void, when it's not just a way stop to heaven living is an amazing experience. It has it's ups and downs(too many downs) but the simple ability to enjoy living... I don't have a void, I quit believing in an existence where I was barely living and expecting to be even less alive when I died and GAINED a life that while too short is full of meaning.
Since I didn't lose something I want no longer believing in god did not create a void.
What do you do to cope with your apparent lose of faith ?
Cope? The only thing to cope with is the fact life will end. Cope by living, focus on today's happiness not the eventual end.
Does it bring you a sense of 'freedom' ?
YES
coping with this lose...
IT'S NOT A LOSS. It's a GAIN.
Atheists believe in the 'non-existence' of God!"
That's a load of crap. Yes, there are some atheists out there that believe there is no god as religiously as theists believe there is. Theists like to trumpet those people, but that theistic view of atheism is just a load of crap. A-theist - non-theist I don't have to believe there is no god to not believe there is one. There may well be a god, by definition a natural being can not disprove the existence of a super natural being. I know no god, I have no god, I'm not looking for a god. I do not think there is one but know I can't eliminate the possibility. You might say "oh you admit you don't know that makes you agnostic" Too me agnosticism focuses on the question. I'm not questioning I don't care enough about supernatural speculation to be comfortable calling myself agnostic. I don't know of a god, I don't "think" there is one, I don't need one. To me it's as much a settled subject as the existence of dragons. Maybe, maybe not, who really cares? I'm an atheist not because I "believe" in non-existence but rather because I don't know of an existence and don't care enough to speculate further.
You tell us not to insult the theists in our answers. How insulting do you think I find it to be told I've "lost god" I have a "void" and I "believe in non-existence"?
