This is something that is extremely difficult to process. Most religions that have persisted assuage some of our most natural existential worries (e.g. mortality, right vs wrong, free will, isolation vs being watched over).

When someone stops believing, all of those questions float back to the surface, and "we really don't know" is such an unsatisfying answer.
