Atheists have no "moral fence" around them, except consequences.
So you telling us that Christians don't manipulate the "moral fence" of their faith to suit their own desires? Christians themselves often cannot agree on what kind of "moral fence" their faith implies!
In light of this it seems to me that social consequences provide a much firmer moral base than the tenets of any given faith.....

Until one day when I was so upset that something let go inside of me, I let go of my disbelief when I realised that all my life I had been ignoring God.
Many new Christians say EXACTLY the same thing and what strikes me is that they all "find God" instead of dealing directly with what was upsetting them in the first place.
To me, your new faith sounds more like an excuse than a solution.
