So far it sucks but since I am still "installing the drivers" , I'm optimistic it will improve.
Well, you don't have to install any drivers, all you have to do is uninstall some viruses. 
Oh well played.
OK, perhaps the viruses have corrupted certain sectors so they had to be wiped. There is definitely some stuff missing on my hard drive...

Jacob,
Why don't you share some of your concerns with us and see what we make of them.
I can't imagine you have unique to you issues - you're going down a path all of us atheists have already trod.
Might help some.

Please tell what has improved in your life and how Atheism benefits those who know you and society at large.
Thank you!
I don't know if atheism benefits me or society, even if atheism did have direct obvious drawbacks I would still be an atheist because I can't force myself to believe something I find unbelievable.
If someone is an alcoholic and believing in god helps them then it's a benefit for them and if a large community have a mindset that without god they would just drink all day, take drugs and have unprotected sex and forget about education and their jobs then religion would benefit them.
I'd say the benefits for me personally is I've enjoyed all the sex I've had which has been guilt free and all the porn I've watched.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
