There might be less charity and that wouldn't be good but it would be more than offset by:
The removal of the blanket of ignorance which holds back scientific knowledge and retards moral progress
and
The end of religious-based prejudice and intolerance which is probably responsible for a big chunk of the strife in the world.
A lot of that gain would be realized if there were no followers of dogmatic religions rather than no religion at all.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
