Welcome to the club! I came to terms with the same fact a few years ago.

Though my point of divergence is somewhat different. I can still believe that the world was created in seven days, that woman was created from a man's rib, etc. I can still believe in a personal God who wants a relationship with humans. (That is to say, I'm not convinced either way, but it doesn't seem particularly farfetched to me)

What I can't believe is that the God of the Bible, assuming he exists as written, is good or worthy of worship in any way. Like, is there a being out there who condemns people to hell who have never heard his name, or who have heard but choose not to believe? Maybe. But if so, I do not want to be a follower of that being.

Which is potentially a bad deal for me -- Pascal's wager and all that -- but I guess I'm just shortsighted like that.
