I would not discount the psychological costs of atheism. To preserve the sense of a life worth living, you must continue living "as if" ontological naturalism was not true like you believe. You live as if you make choices while at the same time believing that everything you think, feel, and do follows deterministically. You also act as if the things you do have meaning while accepting that they have no ultimate significance. You must act as if there was such a thing as human dignity while believing that human life is a complex chemical reaction.
