RE: What do you think will happen, if all humans became atheists ?

I didn't vote, because I don't think religion will ever be a part of the past. It is too much a part of humanity. It may become marginalized at some point, but some major world issue will spark it back up again.
1) I think the correlation between religiosity and science mindedness is spurious. The correlation that exists is with intelligence and lack of religiosity.
2) As mentioned before, this isn't a god issue. This is a "it's really damned expensive to escape earth's gravity" issue.
3) Wars happen because we as humans are egocentric, territorial, and superstitious. Only one of those reasons would go away without religion.
BTW, I joined the military because I wanted to be a jet jockey. And the Naval Academy is a shit hot education, and it was free. And I would be able to play football.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
