i cant add much more than has already been said except for personal experience. No longer being guilty of having normal human thoughts (sex, hate, anger, joy, desire...).
The break did however put the responsibity of my actions and most things that happen as a result as entirely my own (no god to blame for my thought/actions/conceceinses).
This helped me to become mature and self motivated.
Since i was indoctrinated into Christianity from a very young age, the term "freedom's misty dawn" had a much more profound meaning to me.
The masses seem to make religion a comfortable state but in my oppinion it cant lead to fulfillment of life. I know the devout would disagree and may be for some it does fulfill.
The philosophy of doing unto others as you would want done to you is not a hard philosophy to follow nor is it restricted to only a biblical (or even religious) philosophy. It only takes a good clear look at life to understand why it is better to be a good person toward others rather than a bad person.
