It may be a little simplistic of me, but to my mind creating an alternative to religion in the sense the op is suggesting is rather like curing someone of some disease then wondering what other disease to inject them with. Of course, it may be that some organised form of religious deprogramming, akin to a halfway house or drug rehab clinic, could be worth consideration but I'm not sure if this is in line with what was being asked. Food for thought at least.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
