I hand all my problems over to God and he'll do what he has to do with them. I am glad he's on my side.

None of the above, for me. It's true that I don't believe in God/s and don't assign any meaning to confession, but confession never did much for me when I was religious in adolescence either.

I think people tend to feel better, however, after confessing their 'sins' — or discussing them with a counsellor or friend. It is a cathartic experience for most people. However, if people use confession to rid themselves of guilt, I believe that is a step backward. I find a lot of people use confession as a means of ridding themselves of guilt and absolving themselves of responsibility, when it should be about working toward assuming full responsibility and taking measures to make amends for transgressions against others.

.....and to add to that. If one feels they are forgiven and everything is ok, then whats stopping from doing it again, or something worse, thinking that all they have to do is go and confess, and everythings all better.
