I myself often have bouts of severe depression, though not even slightly connected with any gods or lack thereof (except inasmuch that if one really exists, it shall be my (after-)life's work to hunt the bastard down and wipe it out; very, very slowly). So I can understand where you might be coming from on that angle. I think I've been fortunate in my upbringing, never having felt any religious urgings even as a child. All I know from what you might call the other side of the fence is that the world without a god in it is bigger and brighter than you possibly imagined. It has its darker aspects too, of course, but they, generally speaking, often serve to define the highlights. Taken as a whole, it's what is generally known as 'life' and that's supposed to be where the fun begins.
