A lot (probably most) people here are what we call a "6". We don't claim to know for sure that gods doesn't exist. We simply don't accept the arguments that they do. The burden of proof is on those who make the claim that gods do exist, and they have failed to meet that burden. I can't very well prove that leprechauns or fairies definitely don't exist, but I've quite fucking positive they don't. Same with gods.
As for being afraid all the time: I'm still kinda going through that. I've been an atheist for under two months, and so I'm trying to undo all the fear and indoctrination that has been drilled into my brain since I was little. I imagine it'll just take some more time.
