I have experienced this feeling. The good thing is that I have never had these conversations with just a schmo that I met on the street never to talk to again. I don't think I would feel comfortable doing that. So the people I have had these "de-conversion" experiences with have been good friends of mine, people who I'm at least marginally close with, people that I talk to regularly. So I am there for them to dig them out of that sort of 'depression of stark realization' that can happen to anyone who realizes that this is it. But eventually, most people who realize this also realize that it really in most ways makes life more grand.
So the guilt I have felt is fleeting and is quickly replaced with a kinship that is rewarding.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
