We can certainly work towards more understanding of the natural world and human behavior, but I don't like it even when atheists speculate about a "ideal" world, there can only be a more improved but never perfect.
Defining a "perfect world" is useful because it establishes a direction in which to move. You know you can't reach the destination but the further you move in that direction, the greater you have improved things.
It's ironic that you can't stomach things like hypothetical perfect worlds yet you constantly show ire towards imperfect atheists who don't meet your unreasonable standard of rigidity and lack of imagination.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
