That feeling a lot of religious people get when they try letting go of god; the feeling that they don't know what is right and wrong, is most likely due to some kind of placebo effect.
Firstly, small fix: you are referring to the NOCEBO effect, right? I actually don't see sense of placebo effect (pro-something) would make me feeling dizzy.
And as answer to your question: no, I simply thought following way:
"If there's no God, I can make whatever I want to do. But only to border of freedom of another people. But wait - why should I care about the others? Do they even think same way as me? Hell, Stan, STOP it - you're going to act as mad. Anyway, you're mad. NO, JUST STOP IT! Let's start it again. So, there are some people of which I should care about and some of which I shouldn't. But where's the border? And what is care?"
Then, after I saw possibility of God, all above was simplier than the Einstein's theory of time. And I found it simple explanation of everything.
