My experience, the only thing that has been hard, is looking at life without using the lens of faith. Now, after a few years of abandoning Christianity, it's great. But, at first it was hard to make choices independent of my faith. I had no idea how much my identity was wrapped up in Christianity.

Other than the transition from faith to atheism, it has been a great thing. Atheism frees a person from judgement, to be who he/she is, without religion pulling the strings.

I think people in general would lead happier lives if they were atheists.
