I know how this feels. I was raised Pentecostal and when I turned 25 or so... I finally accepted my non-belief. I don't believe in the absolution of the corrupt and inconsistent bible and I certainly do not believe in the god that it represents. I believe god to be the uncertainty that is in life. God is the unanswerable question that will only be met in death. I do believe in good and evil as far as humans go but I do not believe in heaven and hell. I think that concept is a very "human" thing to create to make people either feel better about the finality of death.... Or make people fear life so they will give all of their money to the church. So... With that being said... Every now and then... I do get the fear of going to hell. It's usually when I am vulnerable and I get this image of my entire childhood having hellfire, sin and damnation being thrown in my face. It's engraved in me... I don't deny those feelings but I accept them for what they are and move on with my life. Soo... I understand and know what you are going through. I hope this helps.
Is it normal that I don't believe in a god but I still..
