I've had a similar epiphany, always was agnostic, raised without religion but strong Christian-based morals.
Jordan Peterson has a theory that religion is a built in need or instinct in people (some have it more than others). If you take away religion proper they will latch onto something to take its place, and it's almost certainly going to be worse than Christianity. Because Christianity with all its faults is based on fundamentally sound principles. If you instead choose random shit to believe it will be deadly.
I've been listening to his dialogues series on YouTube, it's very good. Generally on point except about the election steal, but you can't get everything right ...
