Global atheism would change exactly nothing. Human beings would still be animals whose most poweful instinct is survival ,expressed by profligate reproduction.
One of the most populous nations on earth has an atheist regime and a dominant, ingrained atheistic belief system; Confucianism.
Reproduction has little if anything to do with philosophy or religion. There IS a demonstrable correlation with intelligence,as smart people overall have fewer children.
Human overpopulation will never be problem for long. [in earth time] Like every other species,our existence on the planet is temporary. We are by no means the best adapted. It's arguable that we are the most maladapted because we are unable to survive without changing and grossly exploiting our environment in unsustainable ways.. Such a species will not survive for million of years as say sharks or crocodiles.-or cockroaches.
Your argument implies that atheism is somehow superior in some ways to theism.It isn't; atheism is not a philosophy,a moral doctrine,economic or political ideology.Atheism is a lack of belief in god(s) period. NOTHING ELSE may be inferred from that position about any individual or group of individuals.
PS: A hint:if you're going to go around accusing others of being shallow,it might be good idea to make sure you have something a little deeper to contribute.
