It's described as a weight off of a chest, commonly. It doesn't seem very burdensome, by anyone's metrics.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's not a crutch for me, and most Christians I know, we live in a relationship with Christ. We have lives outside the church, involved in many things, caring about the world around us but, we live our lives with a Christian world view, as we should.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

"Not a crutch, we just lean on it in everything we do".
I doubt that very much, btw, in your case or any other christers. / shrugs

It felt like a weight off my shoulders when I finally let it go.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
