Believing in the presence of an omnipresent deity (such as the Christian God) who sees everything you do and every thought you think would be the equivalent of having a CCTV on you every second of every day from work to washroom breaks. Since the same deity is constantly putting gold stars or black marks on the ledger of your life - aiming you at eternal reward or damnation - there would be a tendency to try and "fake him out" to give you more gold stars and get the reward not punishment.
The outcome would be that you would live a life as you think it should be, not as you want, regardless of what you felt.
Answer: If you don't believe in God, you do things or behave based on what you want, what you want to believe is good and bad. If you believe in God, you do things or behave in obedience to Gods law found in the scriptures. If you truly believe in God, you want to behave according to Gods law.
