Is atheism a liberating and good experience?

[Aractus]

And Daniel, I don't expect to "change" people, but when an opportunity for advice or support presents itself (in real life or the internet) and is given and is summarily dismissed, I accept that someone wants to remain as they are, at least at that moment.

Well that's because he isn't seeking advice, he's asking if other people have experienced what he has experienced. You're the one who saw it as an invitation to "give advice".
