My only advice is that you need to manage your expectations. Shaking off the shroud of oppressive religion doesn't happen overnight. Don't expect it to. It will take time. Be observant and open minded about everything. You'll notice that life makes a lot more sense without the dark cloud of the death cult obscuring your vision. Things you see and experience will confirm what you cognitively accept right now. And it will become a thing of your past. It will become something that you used to fear. Don't get down on yourself because you can't just slough off 20+ years of emotional abuse overnight.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
