I liken religion to training wheels on a bicycle. Sure, it's scary not to have that support making sure that you don't fall over, but riding without them ensures that you can create that security on your own. The task of learning to ride without training wheels seems daunting and is frightening, but learning to manage your life on your own free from such trappings instills with you with a sense of brisk liberation and intellectual freedom.
My advice is to embrace the void. Accept that life is finite and learn to live your life knowing that it will all one day come to an end. It's the fact that life ends as it does that makes the journey precious and gives it the value that we perceive. Without death, life would be an eternal voyage that slowly slipped into such tediousness that would make you wish you had never been born.

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
