I still miss my old religious life, but I don't miss believing

I was very religious. I go to church every week, I pray every night, and I really believe everything I was taught.

When I first stop believing, I thought I will feel only happy because I finally being honest with myself. But I was surprised because I also feel sad. Not because I want to believe again, but because I miss some part of that life.

I miss the community. I miss seeing same people every week. I miss feeling like I have answer for everything. Sometimes I even miss the feeling of praying, even though I don't believe someone is listening anymore.

I think many people don't understand this part about leaving religion. It's not always "I stop believing and now everything is better." Sometimes you lose something too.

Maybe this sound strange, but do any former believer here also miss some part of religion, even after becoming atheist?
