The pain of leaving the faith

Good day
New to the forum.
I used to be a preacher, lived for the church, made decisions based on the teachings of the Bible, followed and imitated Jesus...
....and I prayed. a lot. basically the whole time.
Some stuff happened and my faith is gone. I got hurt in the church and I left. (this took some time)

Now I'm here.
I cant start to describe the pain of leaving a whole life built on faith in a Book.
The anger towards some of these believing people and God.
The only conclusion is He is not there.
Or I am the antichrist...
Those are the only two options.

It either all true and I am the worst possible abomination there could be, or it is all make believe...
If it were all true then God hates me...
..or it is just a horrible mistake. And I wasted my whole life away.
