Hi and welcome to the forum. 
You and i have one thing in common, we both feared god, a lot. I was seriously starting to think god wasn't real, and i was afraid of thinking that. Once i got pass that, it was clear that god doesn't exist, he can't do shit to any of us.
What really helped me was at that time i was in my first year of university, i was extremely busy, some of the courses i was having at that time were on evolution, molecular bio, psych and astronomy. In other words i was distracted, and the things i was learning at that time really makes the idea of a christian god ridiculous.
distracting myself from god really worked for me, i didn't even realize the transition to atheism until 2 years later someone asked me if i was religious. and i said i didn't know. but of course i wasn't. i haven't thought of god for such a long time that i didn't even know what my position was anymore. but when i thought of it, it was atheism. The thing is the idea of the christian god is a highly illogical one, without constant reinforcement, it'll fade away. Maybe you'd like to try it out and think less about god, maybe get addicted to a new tv show, devote your time to learning a new language, exercise more, try a new hobby, reading and watching tv really gets your mind off things.
