Does haunting by religious thoughts stopped for some of you?
In my case, since I had studied mysticism for so long, it took most of 6 years and a fair amount of reading to disabuse myself of religious ideas. Because of long practice and much repetition, they had become so habitual that it took a while. So I guess it depends on your investment in such ideas, in terms of time and effort. However, the worst of it for me was at the beginning, with mild depression and occasional panic attacks. My self-esteem was low because I had just admitted to myself that I had made a huge judgment error, and that made me vulnerable to doubts.
