Hmm...
Concerning my personal experience, it depends on which de-conversion we're talking about, because my religious views have been a sine wave.
For the first time when I came to question religion naturally and reached the conclusion it was a bunch of bullshit. It didn't feel like much. I really wanted to believe, but just couldn't.
Then there was a lot of mess with believing, not believing and the question what to believe in.
I wasn't fully an atheist until very recently, because god was still very real in my head. It's a relief not to have to be around the church and deal with all the things it makes me think of. I still turn my eyes away when I see one, though.
