I need advice :/ I've been pretty spiritual my whole life, but that changed a lot. Last winter I went through some really hard stuff. I'm much better now but I feel like I've lost the ability to believe in any Gods. I feel strange without having a religious identity anymore, and whatever I do I can't connect back with it. Help me?

Not all religions have gods- so maybe one of them might work for you.
You can't- and shouldnt- force yourself to believe in something. it's like you're lying to yourself.

It's hard to lose something that we once held so dear, and I sympathize completely. I've been in a similar place lately, though it's not so much that I don't believe, it's just that the connections that I used to feel aren't there anymore. Though in truth, I think a lot of it is due to depression issues, rather than that they are truly gone. I sometimes feel like - I can barely hear myself think, so how can I expect to hear my Gods (if that makes any sense).
At this point, as Kitsy said - don't feel like you need to force anything. Take your time, keep reading things that you have an interest in, and hopefully at some point, you will start to feel like getting back into things. If not, as Esiris mentioned, there are paths that do not relate specifically to Gods, so it may be that one of them is a better fit.

give yourself a gift, and that gift will come back to you. Make yourself happy, and that happiness will spread around you. Focus your life, and your life, and your Goddesses/Gods will focus around you.
Your not lost. Record your dreams and listen to what things around yourself are telling you. It'll all sort out
