When you've been indoctrinated into a religion from birth and eventually come to the conclusion that it isn't true it messes with your head.
Something that you were formerly 100 percent certain was true you now realize is 100% false.
This makes you SERIOUSLY lose the arrogance of thinking there is no possible way that you can be wrong about what you believe now.
To commit an Unforgivable Sin is, in the minds of some former theists, the point of no return.
They seriously doubt everything they think might be true and might be false and get nervous about going all in when they have already learned how wrong they can be.

("Sin" is a strictly religious concept. There is no sin outside of religion. There is only actions.)
He wants to connect to other people, like myself, that experienced what he is going through right now.

Logically nothing. For those with a damaged psyche from the mindfuck that is religion your own self-doubts can really fuck with you. I've met formerly religious atheists that still got nervous about the idea of hell.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
