First of all, welcome
Happily, It's not as though being an atheist instantly makes you completely miserable nor is there really much reason for you to. I am completely free of deities and I don't think I could be happier. There is a lot of talk of the morally vacuous atheist, which is appropriate to your question, but this is certainly not true and reading into moral philosophy is simply the best way to cancel a lot of religion-based anxiety when admitting such things to oneself (biased opinion, but a valid one nonetheless).
However, there is little that can be given in answer to this question with its current ambiguity, how about you break it down for me/us?

Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.
