We would also want people with college degrees and people with open-minded philosophies,...
Our political system would be based on democratic,new left. Conservatives,republicans and other scum would not be welcome.

I want from you to imagine this place and try to describe it,how would we live,what kind of progress such an society would bring to others,is such a place simply utopian if so why,...you just let your imagination out,i want to see what we are able to think of about a society that will one day flourish on our planet.

So you want an equally conservative society?
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Sweden is soft because none of their Vikings are involved in politics.

The true beauty of a self-inquiring sentient universe is lost on those who elect to walk the intellectually vacuous path of comfortable paranoid fantasies.

Prediction is difficult. Especially about the future.
~ Niels Bohr



I'm of the opinion that diversity is a strength, not a weakness. If you reduce the variety of alleles that exist in a population, you reduce its genetic diversity, and that usually has negative consequence for that species' survival. While there are certainly valid justifications for limiting some types of diversity, where diversity actually itself is a threat (lawbreakers). And there are other instances in which we limit freedom and diversity for societal goals (implementing governments, public works). In general, I believe arbitrarily limiting diversity without justification is harmful. (This is one of my main objections to the Atheism+ movement.)

I do not see how limiting a society to those who hold specific views on religion and politics is likely to yield a net gain for that group or species. My inclination is that it would do more to harm both the future success and current prosperity for this group or species. As already noted, specific views on religion or politics don't correlate well with other more important measures of success and fitness, like intelligence. What's the old saying, "A house divided cannot stand" ? Perhaps such a house divided would stand, but I don't believe it would stand as well.

Atheist colony on Mars.

You can only join if you can demonstrate a working knowledge of Evolution.

And the MINUTE you mention god or jesus. i.e "jesus loves me" or some such bullshit.

Straight out the nearest airlock so that you can demonstrate his love when he saves you from asphyxiation(or not).

The 'democratic new left' would insist on opening the doors to any of the most extreme Muslims who applied to get in.
