Quite a few people in my life had never seen my face until I gave up Islam (at least those who met me while I was muslim). It's nice to not have to feel guilty all of the time too. That's probably the most liberating part of being an atheist for me at least.

Wait...you were a drug addict or alcoholic and a Muslim?...interesting

RE: The advantages of being Atheist
it brought out the best in me, in every way possible. it put to rest the idea of everyone going to hell and suffering for eternity. Thankfully this saved me from a heart-attack at a young age. It's nice to be free, and it's nice to understand the nature of existence.
I hate the bible. I love that do as thy whilst stuff.

RE: The advantages of being Atheist
Yeah I think one of the major advantages could be the decrease of fear in one's life and a lighter heart.

However, sometimes people become fearless as a result of their faith too, so it's hard to say. I know I was more scared when I was without faith.

But I'm not one of these scrupulous guilt ridden people that lives in panic because everyone around them is going to hell for not believing what I do.

Yes, Religion can be extremely destructive. I don't deny that. But it doesn't have to be.

Christians say it's rude not to warn of hell. I think it's terrible to not feel real pain and agony for these people they assume are facing such a fate.

I can be out on my bike thinking about religion rather than sitting in church thinking about riding my bike.

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Or worse...use it to feel better about themselves.

RE: The advantages of being Atheist
I've heard so many of the "step-on-a-crack-break-your-mother's-back" bullshit rules that attend every single religion I've ever encountered -- and that's quite a few of them, since I and my siblings were little religious experiments for our parents. They did not attempt to influence us in any way re religion, instead exposing us to as many different faith cultures as they could manage -- which is too many to name here. Result? Instant little atheists.

Every time I hear some religious person recite one of their "rules," whether it concerns when and what to eat, what clothing must be worn, what rituals must be followed, when to fuck and when to fart and everything else in between, I just smile a little and feel grateful that I am not constrained by all that nonsense.
