Welcome!

And take solace in the fact that intellectual 18 year olds the world over struggle with existential questions! You're not alone!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

As history has shown, a god was never necessary to explain any of the natural world's various phenomena. Focusing on reality demonstrably yields the best results.

Welcome!
