My experience was much the same. I let go of god a few years ago, but I sometimes still have to remind myself that I do not need to "hang on" to GUILT! I am free! I am, and have always been a moral, loving and kind person. Where does that guilt come from... the years of catholic school, nuns & priests preaching it. I am much happier today! I am saddened by the sense of prejudice in people because of my choices. I have never known that before in my life and it shocks me sometimes. That has taught me a lesson and I find myself even more empathetic to the plight of others. This life continues to be an amazing journey!
