Would the world really be better with out any
religion ? Well not if the negative psychological
characteristics of human nature were retained it
would not : as religion is not the problem here and
never has been rather the imposition of religion upon
those who do not want it which is a totally different thing
altogether : and although religion itself may be abolished it
would only be replaced by other religions in all but name : take
Fascism under Hitler and Communism under Stalin : the worship of
the leader whose authority can not be questioned and who is supreme
ruler : sound familiar ? There are many other examples from history going
all the way back : so no the world would not be a better place without religion
But it would be a better place without greed and envy and jealousy and hate and
fear and anything else that causes us to reference our fellow man in a negative light
Religion is the symptom here and not the cause : could have a perfect world where every
one had a different belief system as long as there was only a positive aspect to human nature
So the issue here is psychology not religion : fix that and problem solved [ a tad difficult though ]

A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
