I found it quite liberating, actually. No more worrying about being good to get an afterlife, no worrying that if I was "bad" I'd be cast into a lake of fire. Once I put away my foolish belief and realized that I didn't have an invisible person standing over me waiting to bash my head in with a bat, I felt, for the first time in my life, free.
