The major changes(in my opinion) would be :
1.The governments will increase their fundings on researches and scientific experiments , and thus science will advance very quickly .
2.Space travel for anyone .
3.no more wars .
1. Possibly, though there is no necessary connection between atheism and enthusiasm for science. I suppose some atheists are relatively indifferent to science and spend little time investigating it, and it doesn't follow that there would be a corresponding increase in research spending (especially in resource-poor nations) just because people gave up belief in the supernatural. In an entirely secular world there would still be plenty of room to quarrel over how taxes are allocated.
2. I fail to see the connection. Space travel for even a few is a damned expensive proposition. Space travel for anyone is a technological and money issue, not a god issue.
3. I seriously doubt this. People being what they are, they will likely always find things to fight over -- especially in a world of ever-increasing pressure on vital resources. If people start slaughtering each other over access to fresh water, will you attribute that to a resurgence in religious belief?
