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 .
What do you think will be the major changes ?
I don't think religion will ever go away, simply because it seems so deeply ingrained in us. Also, you will always have people who refuse to 'see the truth' so to speak, and will quite literally die believing their nonsense rather than admit that religion is wrong and that the logical position is atheism.
As for space travel for everyone, what does that have to do with religion and/or atheism. At the moment I don't think space travel is high up anyone's agenda because it would cost to much and the world economy isn't exactly in the best shape.
Finally, there is no way that if everyone became atheist we would suddenly see the end of wars. Wars are not fought simply because of religion. Granted, religions are often used to justify wars, or to give them some kind of meaning, but I think that fighting would still exist simply because people still aren't going to get along, even if they all share a common disbelief in the existence of God.
