The Impact of Worldview Change on Life Choices

If one were to change their worldview overnight, to, say, become an atheist, the question arises: how would their life transform? Reflecting on a notable story of a former Christian pastor who found that his life didn't change significantly when he temporarily lived without God, the discussion delves into whether morality is rooted in belief.
