Not believing in God, or Gods for that matter, is strangely liberating. My actions are my own - in more than one sense. I act because of my own will, and at the end of the day, I justify my actions to myself. I have multiple judgement days, multiple passages through hell, and multiple hours in paradise.
More importantly, I am no longer constrained by what the Qur'an says, or what the Vedas and the Smritis say. What I am is what I believe, and what I believe is what I am. As al-Hallaj would say - ana al-Haq.
