What about the lack of stress related to not having to deal with cognitive dissonance? It's very relaxing not having to be the apologist anymore. Neither do I have to cringe when someone in my religion does something stupid. When Rick Perry opens his mouth I can snort in laughter, when someone thinks Ray Comfort is a genius I can laugh on the inside and try hard not to crack a smile, when my (former) Christian neighbor acts like a psycho, I shrug and walk away.
I suppose I now have to worry about problems due to being a nonbeliever in the bible belt but that's nothing compared to thevothet extreme.
Of course the article is probably bullshit, so all this speculation is mindedness, I just haven't got the time to verify facts right now.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
