The world wouldn't be better without theists. The world would be better without ignorance. Say what you will, but if I had to be stuck in a room for twenty years with either
1) An atheist who doesn't know jack shit about anything intellectual (or care to know)
or
2) Thomas Aquinas
I'd choose the latter every time.
Here is where we agree: ignorance and theism often come packaged together. And in that sense, getting rid of all theists would solve much of the world's ignorance problem. But there would be many valuable persons lost in that exodus: namely all intellectually gifted theists. I'm not willing to dispense with them. Maybe you are, but I'm not.
That goes for in the forum or in the world.
