Just by mere coincidences, when I was a devout catholic, I has financial issues. I was in debt, a looser in life. I was gaining weight like crazy and prone to illness almost every second day. Every second of every minute, I used to ask god for mercy.
After renouncing my beliefs, my life improved gradually. 6 years later, I am free of debt, own a nice car and enjoying life to the fullest. I have dropped 15 pounds and healthy as a horse. For those theists who are wondering, this is nothing to do with the renouncement of my beliefs. Rather I attribute it to my own will power. I convinced myself to get off my ass and do something instead of depending on some mythical character to do everything on my behalf. Its the realization that you are responsible for your own deeds that changed my life. As someone rightly said, "Only the weak minded turn to a higher being when they do not believe in themselves".
And yes, after years of mocking imaginary characters such as god, Santa, FSM, pixies, etc, I am still alive.
