Not going to happen, there is no such thing as a utopia not on a planet of 7 billion. Do you think all human divisions would suddenly cease to exist if all 7 billion of us were atheists? I don't see that. Again, there are plenty of atheists I don't agree with, and would not want in power. Humans even atheists will never get to the point where all of us are rational 100% of the time, every single second of the day. I am sure even the atheists here can give you plenty of examples of my rants where they think I am not being rational. Even in my own personal life I have anxiety and depression, and sometimes I get paranoid and overthink and dwell on a problem for hours or days which ends up being nothing.
You can only educate and agree to neutral laws in government and neutral labs in science. You cannot expect even atheists to only do good and be good all the time. I'd only say where we see less dogmatic societies we see less conflict. But there will never be a utopia where any one label is the only thing that exists. Even if all we had were 7 billion atheists you'd still have divisions on economics, you'd still have conflicts over boarders and resources.
