I came into psychedelics as a materialist atheist, so there was no traditional religious worldview to shatter to begin with. But it did certainly force me to revisit my simplistic atheist viewpoint. A couple white light godhead experiences will definitely do that to you. But one thing that psychedelics always make clear is that there is no external authority that can have anything meaningful to say about my personal spiritual experience. It's cometely up to me... This I find highly empowering, although I could see how it could be unsettling to someone with a strongly traditional religious upbringing.

Then there are the other side effects: disdain for crass consumer culture, ongoing questioning of authority of all kinds. A permanent habit of change; a comfort with the continuous malleability of reality and self.

Powerful appreciation for the small things in life, for the present moment.
