we wake up tomorrow and everyone has converted to atheism.. is the world a better place to live in?

*Better* ??? Not sure why you're asking...

It depends on how the world handles it.. Atheism is not a social institution.. Nor is atheism a separate belief system.. So your question really is faulty imo..

Atheism is not a counter belief (and thus alternative system of belief to those who do believe).. So there is no way to gauge what WOULD happen.. We can only say what is most likely NOT to happen anymore were the world no longer theist...
