Better.
I no longer look to a socially projected, logically impossible god concept for anything.
It's good to accept reality.

Giving up your belief can’t change your life 100% what ever you belief in can’t change you , every religion has a black sheep’s , who are know as believers who has a mask of belief but they do many thing which is out of humanity .
I strongly believe the basic of a person can’t change means the way of think the way of living life, even if he belief or Not, and the last I can add it can be worse after someone give up the belief.

It hasn't really changed all that much, to be honest. I don't feel as frustrated because I have questions about what I'm supposed to believe that I can't get a straight answer to out of others who supposedly believe the same thing. And this includes the church leaders.

better. infinitely better. because now i live for myself instead of for some abstract being. i can take credit for my deeds, both good and bad. i accept that whatever happens in my life is a result of my actions as well as the actions of other. i don't question why things do or do not happen. i don't have to feel guilty for little things i shouldn't feel guilty for in the first place. abandoning christianity allowed me to be myself fully without relying on god. i feel more independent and more informed. i live my life to the fullest instead of worrying about every little detail and it's consequences in the so-called afterlife.

Better.
No worries about trying to please some sky fairy. No more need for superstitions. Highly unlikely to be tricked into giving money to televangelists or the Religious Right. Sleep in Sundays. Being firmly on the side of science over magic. Clarity of thought. Inability to be fooled by "miracles". Immunity to theological imperatives.

I think you finally become clear that you are a child of the universe and you will have to define it in a way that makes sense to you in your own way, not with a pre-digested version of god. It is liberating, but I'm sure it's scary for those who have had religion as a crutch their whole life.

About the same, or maybe better. I struggled for a while, during the time my philosophy was stabilizing though.

I've never been in prison, but I'd equate it to parole of the mind.
