I know exactly why I abandoned Christianity; well all religions the world over. There's nothing in any faith that could change/fix/restore/save me. This is evident by how beliefs paint every one with the same brush (Eight Billion Beliefs Are Only Cause for Chaos) We've all become belief addict's, to escape the fear of what we don't know. Destroying each other so we can remain in our personal safe zones.
You are not alone @Looking4Me
Everyone of all beliefs struggles universally
as we are spiritually connected as one humanity.

The greatest contribution of Christianity
is divine forgiveness, so much greater than the destructive ills that divide and conquer us.

What helps us to survive is to forgive,
So we don't keep repeating the ills from the past that makes our lives living hell.

You will still strive for peace and justice that the human conscience is designed to respond to.

We all want peace and security
and freedom from fear, stress and abusive oppression.

The only difference is agreeing to receive the empowering grace of forgiveness.

The struggle of humanity is what it is.

If we forgive one another, and pains and injustice from the past, this helps us to see forward into steps and solutions we can take
to make the most of our relations and resources in life.

Take care and know you have the support and prayers of people who care for you equally and the unique role you play in the process of humanity achieving peace and justice for all.

We are all in this together!
Much love, prayers and more power to you!

Yours truly
Emily

Perhaps that was a bit too cryptic for you. It's fashionable today to give up on "religion". People such as yourself are realizing that religion doesn't fully answer the big questions in life. Like, what must I do to be saved? Religion will tell you, join us. Do what we do. Believe what we believe. And there are literally thousands of religions, in fact every man and his dog can make up a religion. And there are billions of people worldwide who slavishly follow for no better reason than their parents, their friends, their neighbors, or society, practised it. It was fashionable. It was how people made business contacts. It assuaged a guilty conscience. It brought friends and relieved boredom.
Today, there are so many other distractions people have discovered that religion is no longer fashionable. Other things are now in fashion. Atheism. Evolution. Science. Music. Entertainment. Scepticism. Social justice. Activism.
Fear. Fear is very fashionable. Climate change. Financial meltdowns.
Christianity, the real genuine article, can save you from all that. From all those daily changing fear filled news reports and terrifying prognostications concerning the human life span... The latest being I think 12 years. You can be saved from all of that. Because religion couldn't deliver what you needed.
Jesus Christ. He saves you from fear. From guilt. From unbelief. From the apocalyptic destruction of the earth and everything on it.

I know. But what do you think I can do about my seperation from God? Is there anything I can actually do myself for God to rescue me from destruction? Because the way I see it, I can't do anything apart from him. So I wait.

Dear @Looking4Me
You keep improving yourself.
Keep forgiving what is negative and seek to focus on positive solutions.
Seek to resolve all relationships with others to establish common truth and free both people from strife and stress.

Anything you do for sake of peace and justice is collectively what the Holy Spirit and Jesus represent.

By committing to embody the love of Truth Justice and Peace in your heart mind soul and all your relations, this is what it means to live with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in your heart with faith this fulfills the laws by conscience.

If you don't relate to Christian language for this spiritual process, you may be a secular gentile responding to natural laws.

Jesus as Justice fulfills those as well.

You may respond better to Buddhist teachings on freeing your mind from attachments to the past

Buddhist meditation can help to let go and receive God's wisdom and truth naturally instead of manmade striving through religion or beliefs.

Real truth comes naturally.

I love mother nature in the here and now, not the light at the end.

Have you ever read the book The Healing Light by Agnes Sanford. She explains God as Nature. So letting Nature into your heart life and relations is the same as being one with God. Through Christ means accepting forgiveness so you can fully receive the energy and understanding of Nature which is self existing and self sustaining.

If we don't forgive but let fear, ill will and unforgiveness block the channels in our mind body and relations, this blocks the natural energy and love in life from flowing through. So blocking this self healing energy is what causes sickness to dwell or escalate instead of overcoming by Nature.

I can send you the book or you can find it online for 1-4 dollars.

You might respond to Buddhist ways of explaining the spiritual mind body process. Have you read books by Thich Nhat Hanh?

His books and The Healing Light are fairly short. If you go through a bookstore and browse, tell me if their way of presenting spirituality makes sense to you or not!

Superficially sounds like pantheism.
