Please explain your answer below.

No, not so long as formalized religion is prevented from wielding worldly power.

People are people, and adhere to their own values regardless of stated rationales. I know plenty of good believers, and enough shitty nonbelievers, to know that considerations of gods or their absence aren't germane to the quality of life in this world.

The only benefit arising from everyone being atheist would be the decimation of the governing power of organized religion. That is quickly becoming moot as the power of organized religion wanes in an increasingly secular world.
