My Loss of faith has caused severe depression

Wasn't that true even when you believed? Don't you Christians assume the Mormons or Catholics or JW's et al are going to hell while your lot will get all the best spots in heaven? There is no universal agreement on morally even among Christians. The wonder is that there is loads of agreement over almost everything else but what sends you to heaven or hell. Now that you don't believe in that crap, you can now enjoy the great bulk of humanity in condemning gratuitous harm, robbery and the rest. You can hold your head knowing you're with the rest of us rather than looking down your nose from the high horse of objective know-everything morality.
