No if there was no god people would rape and kill all the time... Just kidding, my answer is yes. But I don't agree with making religion illegal, I prefer letting it fade away slowly trough natural enlightenment of the human race

Yes, but some wouldn't be able to live knowing no god exists and that there is nothing after we are dead.

And others would lose it. It goes both ways and the result wouldn't be unanimous throughout the world
