Has atheism changed you in any way? How? Do you think that you are a better person now or back when you were a theist?
A lack of belief in God has given me the ability to think big and wonder about the cosmos without feeling guilty or worrying that Satan has got a grip on me. Intellectual freedom feels good.
I can't say my moral values have changed much. I still hold on to Christian values like not swearing and letting your yes's be yes's. I agree with them even if we're not being judged by a deity.
