No reason to be depressed and coping is quite easy really. Think about how "awful" it was to not exist before you were born. Not much.

You are leaving a bad thing - religion is false and I'd much rather know reality than believe a comforting lie.

As for "Jesus" being a great moral teacher - meh. Anything he supposedly said was said better and earlier by others. Plagiarism I suppose is a form of flattery.
