I'm not a very experienced writer and am struggling with this aspect of my novel. People in my world were religious, they may have followed different religions that were more intense than others but everyone had a particular God they gave worship too. The Gods didn't just give them hope and interact with them but were also a source of protection and guidance. Religion was good rather than negative and they kept the world leaning toward Utopian - bad behaviour resulted in punishment from the Gods and they were the most powerful entity in this world and kept evil to a minimum until eventually they lost their strength.
The Gods were destroyed and everything they represented went with them. This made the races in my world defenceless against more powerful entities than themselves. But outside of that what do you think would be the impact of people losing their religion? You can't worship a God that no longer exists.
I'm trying to think of ways people might handle this mentally and emotionally and being a non-religious person it's hard for me to think about this topic. Could anyone offer me any help and steer me in the right direction please?
