There was no Garden of Eden.
There was no Adam, no Eve.
There was no Original Sin.
There was no need of atonement/redemption.
There was no need for Jesus to die on a cross.
Etc.
It was all made up by people with nothing better to do.

What are we going to do now?

I recommend growing up.
Facing the truth of how things are
in a "Here we are, now what?" kind of way.

Throw belief/faith into the burning barrel,
and sit in emptiness, stillness, silence,
reflecting on what we know to be so 
out of our own experience,
trusting our intuition and our intellect 
to work together at the task to know who we are
and what is ours to do with the gifts that are ours from birth:
Our original nature,
our inherent virtues--the things we do best 
and the things we enjoy doing most,
our intrinsic intuition,
our instincts and imagination,
our ability to see/sense what's what,
what's happening,
and what needs to be done about it, here, now,
in each situation as it arises,
and get busy doing what is called for here, now
when, where, and how it needs to be done, no matter what
all our life long.

It's easy and fun once we get the hang of it.
