Let's imagine that religion left Earth,every single human is an atheist. What would be the biggest changes in our society?

I would have nobody to look down on, and we can then get on arguing about something else. Religion isn't really there, is just a way of avoiding issues when a kid asks too many questions, 'Why? because god said so.'

No my idea is,if people would not spend so much time adoring imaginary friends,we could fix the world problems like hunger,disease,over population,...
Religion also brings illusion of happiness,if we free ourself from believing in god,we can give more attention to fellow humans.Like people pray for god,they could use that time to talk to old lonely people or something.

No, god isn't real, people invented him so they would have an excuse.

It depends. Are we taking it away in an instant leaving the religous in some sort of spiritual withdrawl, or are we slowly weaning them off of it or even erasing their mind so that they ever knew of religion?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

It does not matter,just imagine you wake up one morning and the whole world is an atheist,But lets say that a magic lizard in the sky erased their mind so that they never knew what religion was.

I don't care what happens to religion, just as long as it doesn't interfere with rights and science.
