feeling depressed after becoming atheist

Jeffonthenet Wrote:What reason did you become an atheist? Perhaps if your reasons were incorrect and atheism is false, you will regain your happiness. If God does exist and is the source of all goodness, it is no surprise that you lost your happiness when you lost your faith in God.

If god is the source of all goodness and losing faith in him causes unhappiness, can we infer from that that anyone who finds happiness without a belief in god is proof that a god that is the source of all happiness does not exist?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
