I'd be interested to hear all your reasons as to why
Possible but most uncertain. Mainly because stupid and sick people still do stupid and sick things regardless of belief or lack of. The corrupt and the mentally unstable are still corrupt and mentally unstable. Despite that, intolerance however may decline with the absence of religious nonsense. Religion does show a lot of intolerance and hate. It also likes to interfear with the education system as well as politics. If there was no religious madness, perhaps schools will be given a break and kids educated without people's religious beliefs interfering.
I think there would be plenty of gain with the absence of religion, no more suicide bombers, no more religious lunatics flying planes into buildings.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
