Yes I agree but then again how could we compare if we obviously haven't been to Heaven yet? I do think the world would be quite a better place but if it were, how would we know what ''isnt good'' ? have a nice day :)

Well...let's look to history and see!
How about it Northern Ireland, where they're all Christians!
Heaven on Earth? Nope! They're all killing each other based on factional differences aligned with political causes! Catholic killing protestants! Protestants bombing Catholics! Heavenly!!!
Certainly, it was heavenly in Europe in the Middle Ages when everyone was a Christian, right?
Oh, wait...the church became a political force and controlled people, selling passage to heaven and killing those who didn't believe (or pay enough)...
...then, there was the Inquisition! Heavenly!!!
History tells us that anytime there is religion, whether 'everyone' is of the same religion or not, people will die because of it.
There is NO WAY to prove anyone's belief over anyone elses, and there never will be. The worshippers of Zeus believed at least as fervently as you do that what they worshipped was entirely true. So do the Jews, and the Muslims, and the Hindus, and the Buddhists.
It doesn't matter if everyone is of the same religion - people will still be persecuted and killed over beliefs that can never be anything more than someone's opinion.
Look to modern times in the Middle East to see what large groups of people with the 'same' religion do when grouped together. They splinter off into factions and kill each other. The same thing would happen (again) if it were all Christians.
Heaven on Earth. LOL!
Embrace the brief time you have to breathe. At least you know it's real.

NOPE! As previous answerers have stated, we would all still be sinners. What a better example is there than the Haggard scandle? He's still a Christian but a sinner until the hour of his death. Being Chrisitians does not make people exempt from committing sin. There are a lot of non-christians that live a more spiritual life than Christians do. Heaven is Heaven and Earth is not, so get off that cloud.

No, and anyway it will never happen as people are always going to differ in their beliefs/disbeliefs. I think this can be a dangerous thing when any religious group starts to think this way. At any rate some of the "christians" I've met aren't all that wonderful. Certainly no worse or better than atheists, wiccans, pagans, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc... We need to accept each other's differences and get along. That would make the planet a better place to live.

first I am atheist, I am going to answer this from a logical point of view
If everyone agree to follow or believe something, and everyone is in the same page, there is not conflict so everyone is happy and can work for a better life.
Religions are not the answer or the key it just a point of view of the life, like capitalism or communism.
But the problem here is the word "everyone", if the corruption arrive everything will be destroy

No. Christainity is not a unified religion and is full of diffrent schisma and bitterness. There would just be arguments over how to worship the same God and nothing would change. Why do people want to impose their views on others, as Ghandi stated, "The object should not be to change someelse's religion rather to make them a bettr follower of their own". The world would be a pet place if we left people to make their own decision and reach their own relationship with God free of others imposing their views on others.

Not exactly, why do you ask?
Anyway, if that were the case then take it a step further and ask what sort of Christian should we all be? Would it be heaven if we were all Baptists? What kind of Baptists? The ones that are already saved and will be going to heaven ahead of everybody else? Yeah baby, I just get goose bumps thinking about it.

Ewwww, no! Bleagh! I don't want heaven here. Sounds boring to me. Besides, there is no heaven, there is only this earth. Heaven would be if all religions were abolished.

No it wouldn't. You might be under that impression until you realise that you would be controlled by a corrupt organisation who likes to line their own pockets, getting their sexual kicks from abusing kids, follows a poorly written fairy tale book, judges everyone and everything. The list goes on. If thats your idea of heaven, then you are seriously warped, my friend.
See the light

Don't touch or "go in to see when the holy things are covered." God kills people who touch or look at uncovered holy things. 4:15, 4:20
What a lovely world, all blood and killings, there will be no need to produce synthetic red dye at all
