Good for you man. Same thing happened to me. It gets easier. The thing is, nobody knows. Knowing isn’t what makes life interesting. The “answers” that religion offers aren’t interesting at all, and if left unquestioned, tend to stagnate in some corner of the mind until the odor is just too bad to ignore.
This inevitably led me to the next question-“How the hell did those beliefs last that long?”...and away I went! It’s better this way.
