How do I get over that "feeling" that god exists?

I've been an athiest for more than half my life now and I can tell you that feeling will fade. The first year is very confusing because your leaving a large group and going a path most likely alone. Then throw in people trying to convert you back sometimes aggressively and it makes it worse. Just stay true to your own views and don't allow yourself to be bullied. Also take pride in having the courage to take the path less traveled by. When you need someone to talk to we'll be here :-) .
