I Feel Alone
#3
RE: I Feel Alone
This is one of the many negative aspects religion.

You are probably pretty much the same person that you were before you became a disbeliever, yet all your supposed friends and family have abandoned you.

Ex Pastor, Teresa MacBain, has equated the feeling almost as if everyone you used to be close to, was killed in the same plane crash. You list all your support group at the same time.

Is your therapist secular? If not, he/she may not be able to relate to what you are going through.

I am optimistic you will find more like minded people in the near future. You live in Southern California (what area?) as do I. There are plenty of atheist and secular groups you could attend in order to meet new people. Many of them have probably gone through similar experiences as you.

If you are in the LA area, you might want to start with The Center for Inquiry West. Check their calendar, they have some cool weekly events.

There are no lack of groups in So Cal where you can make new like minded friends.

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.
