If you are looking for a gentler but still compelling look at atheism, try "The Atheists Way" by Eric Maisel. It's very positive and affirming of the atheist outlook on life rather than just trashing religion.
He looks at the larger picture of "How do Atheists create a meaningful life" from a number of different angles. I found it one of the least confrontational books on atheism that I've read, and yet one of the most practically useful.
Here's an amazon link, I hope it's not affiliated, I'm just trying to show you the book: http://www.amazon.ca/The-Atheists-Way-Living-Without/dp/1577316428
The books were Demon Possession and The Atheist's Way. This first is a collection of stories of demonic possession without a skeptical attitude toward them, while the latter is a book designed to explain how Atheists can lead moral lives. One would think the first one is more likely to lead to arson.
Haven't read it, but maybe something like this?

The Atheist's Way
I would highly recommend The Atheist's Way: http://www.amazon.com/Atheists-Way-Living-Well-Without/dp/1577316428/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278031253&sr=8-1
Short version: you have a unique opportunity to create meaning, not just respond/react to meaning that's been handed to you. In the language of this book, I'd say you're still looking at the world through religiously-conditioned eyes.
Also, you sound to me like you may be suffering from acute depression on top of an already-existing existential crisis. I would strongly recommend seeking counseling, even if it means taking some extra time and effort to find one that you feel comfortable/compatible with as an atheist.
A friend of mine went through something similar, wasn't ready to read something as indepth as "God Delusion" or "God is Not Great", found a less intimidating (and much shorter) book called "The Atheist's Way". She said it was comforting, and while she still does not consider herself an atheist, she's no longer afraid of her doubts, knowing that the worst case scenario (losing her beleif) does not sound as bad as she had previously imagined. She said she now has a better understanding and appreciation of her atheist friends. Might be worth a try.

A book I love that describes a secular, reason-based method for generating meaning: The Atheist's Way by Eric Maisel. It's also a highly existentialist book so it might be a good fit.
