Does it hurt a car to coast with the engine off?

Before you say it, i know it is dangerous. i only do it on this one road by my house that never has anyone on it, and besides, there is always anough pressure in the brake lines to stop as if the engine in on anyway... so, if you coast downhill with the engine off and in neutral, does it hurt the car in any way (like a transmission oil pump shutting off or something)? oh, and ive always wondered what would happen if you shut the engine off with the car in drive, compared to doing it in neutral? thanks!
