Social void & questions

Social void & questions
This thread is intended for discussion but I also happen to be experiencing this situation, if it were to affect your comment.

Some may disagree, but I think its hard to deny the social ‘benefits’ of religion or that the functional perspective of religion is accurate. So, I have a couple questions for those who have experienced or have experience related to the social void that comes with no longer being involved in a religion. 

What have you done or are currently doing to refill this void and how has it affected your well-being? 

What is an ideal solution that does not yet exist, if any?


Also, if you do not agree with or think there is a better question, given the situation, what question(s) would you ask?
