My friends, church, job, etc. it's really lonely, and I don't know what to do about my new beliefs. I'm optimistic though, seeing as I'm no longer held to sexual repression, "rituals", or guilt over non-moral choices.

I just wanted to see what you guys think. Any advice for leaving religion behind, and dealing with the loneliness?

You should check out The Clergy Project. I know you're not a Pastor, but since you work in a church, they still may be able to help in some way.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
