When I left Islam I felt at first confusion, guilt,sadness, but I felt like all the heavy weight had been released from my shoulders.
-No more guilt for having sexual urges.
-I don't have to waste my time praying 5 times a day.
-I don't have to worry about the food being halal.
-I can drink alcohol and eat pork.
-I don't have to fast ramadan, I pretend to fast because in ramadan tastier food is prepared more than regular days and I wanna leave some space for it, but I sneak in water and small meals to carry on with my daily task, so I view ramadan as a social and cultural event.
-I treat people as individuals rather than their religious beliefs, I believe in egalitarianism.
-No more fear from Hell fire, for making ridiculous sins.
-And most importantly, I can think freely.
-No more guilt for having sexual urges.
