Bill Moyers once confessed that life would be easier without a belief in God because then one would not have to spend one's whole life trying to reconcile religion with reality.

As neither really existed int eh first place, I asume you mean without he delusions of hell or god.

i was never worried about hell because i was raised as a secular jew, and hell isn't even a part of judaism; it's a christian concept. as for god, he was just sort of an invisible friend, so i was a little sad (not traumatized, just sad) when i realized that he wasn't real, but life hadn't been harder with him, as i wasn't, for example, living my life trying to please him or anything. i imagine for an ex-christian, life would be a LOT easier once the realization came that there are no gods and there is no hell!
