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

I don't have a vision of a future with no religion. I don't think everyone's mind is equipped to cope with life without the pacifier. I think the net outcome for humanity would be a bad one. On one hand, a lot of bigotry, hatred, superstitious idiocy, and fundamentalism would go away, but on the other hand, it would create an enormous vacuum that would get filled with who knows what? I don't know. I'd rather deal with the known.
I would hope that religion slowly gets marginalized and that a humanist movement would take over. I just don't think it's realistic to think of a world with no religion.

"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
