My utopia is something like Star Trek. People are free to pursue what they love because there is plenty of cheap clean energy, so the food is free people don't waste time and life earning it along with housing. Instead of working in some offices they terraform Venus and populate it with animals and people. They are constantly bombarded by pictures of deep space by myriads of probes sent around. They also roam all over the planet since fuel is so cheap that they practically don't live anywhere permanently. Robots are making their housing on, let's say some place, and then they tow it by air on desired locations.
That kind of world would be different almost like between us and people in ancient Egypt. That's why when I watch TNG I feel like I'm seeing people on higher level of evolution - they're always happy and pleased because they do what they love and can fix almost any problem that comes around. Indeed I think that in that kind of world where money has no value religion doesn't exist, because as any other business it died out.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
