No more suicide bombings and children dying because of the power of prayer would be a good example. Perhaps kids getting fucked by members of the church and genital mutilation practices would be abolished as well. And maybe we can even get rid of Sharia Law and make sure girls who get raped don't get punished for it.
But a lot less good things...yea.

Then go live in Iran or Tribal Afghanistan - they have everything you listed. Everything that you enjoy today is because of modern science - based on skepticism and doubt. Don't feed me this garbage that the world needs religion to behave. It's demonstrably false. It's no secret that the least religious nations are doing the best economically and developmentally, not to mention they give more to charities than their more religious counterparts.
