Good for you, Farhan Qureshi.
One of the first questions I contemplated after faith disappeared (like a bar of soap) for me was whether I was merely substituting one addiction (religion) for another (atheism).
It's a weird question as I look back on it, but such were my thought processes at the time.
I suppose Farhan, if I had any advice to give (since you are asking for it), it would be to consider any future challenges you face when thinking about reality as possibly stemming from your old ways of thinking. You may have a lot of unlearning to do, I don't know.
Good luck and welcome!
Mike
