Depends what you're having faith in I suppose. The thing with the westernized world is that whether we like it or not, our daily lives and everything we follow as "right" and "wrong" is based on Christian values. Many have passed up on the God bandwagon, yet they still walk around touting the following's beliefs without even realizing it. If you're ready to drop faith in God and Christianity, you should also spend some time considering how the religion has shaped your personal morals and the way we conduct day to day life altogether. If God is nonexistent and the entire religion is a sham, how can you justifiably accept the moral structure the church has put in place too without question? You shouldn't, and you should be non-apologetic in doing so. In the end, whether you believe in God or not, you're still the product of Christianity. So it's something to consider if you really want to break down the entire God deception....
