Hey mate, sorry to hear that your religion is killing you. I'm happy to talk about atheism if you want, but I don't know if I can provide anything that you will find useful. I'm good at pointing out the flaws in religion, but that doesn't mean I have anything to replace it with. Perhaps I am clever but not wise...
Atheism is the lack of something. It is the lack of belief in a god or gods.
If you are worried about the cracks in one of your foundations (your faith) then I'm worried that atheism won't do anything more than remove that faulty foundation. It won't give you a new foundation to replace it with.
It's a hard choice to take, but I think you know that already.
What is it about your faith that is causing you stress? Are you doubting or rejecting the teachings themselves - or are they just causing a lot of difficulty trying to abide by them?
