We all need clean air, clean water and clean food. We all need shelter and affection and we all need to be creative somehow (not everyone is artistically able, but we can all be creative somehow, whether it be through our speech, our way dressing, etc.). We all want to be healthy and we all want to be joyous.
In summary: Air, water, shelter, affection, creativity, health and joy. We all need this to be and stay alive. On this we can all agree.

your question is not hypothetical with the apparent contradiction and impossible .... if you mean to exclude religion then the consequence is lack of religion if you include religion then you can't have a lack of religion hence double talk try a logical hypothetical of( either or) You can't satisfy both at the same time.

Believing there's no God stops me from being isolated into just one mind frame. I can read ideas from all different people from all different cultures. Without God, we can agree on reality, and I can keep learning, growing, and understanding. We can all keep adjusting, so we can really communicate.
I don't travel in circles where people say, "I have faith, I believe this in my heart and nothing you can say or do can shake my faith." That's just a long-winded religious way to say, "Shut up," or “F you”.
But all obscenity is less insulting than, "How I was brought up and my imaginary friend means more to me than anything you can ever say or do."
So, believing there is no God lets me be proven wrong and that's always fun.
It means I'm learning something.
with out religion, minds could be open to ideas, and we could learn things that matter to each other. and get along better than ever

Basically most would agree with some of the 10 commandments, which included things like do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not covet what belongs to others.
Even though these commands are from the Bible, if people followed these rules, whether religious or not, it would make life much happier for everyone.

Philosophy without morality is relativism, which contains what people consider truth only for themselves.
Philosophy and morality is a type of religion.
Man naturally come to religion regardless of wether or not they like to admit it.

The minimum wage should be raised so a family of 4 can afford an apartment and food, not one or the other.
There should be jobs for everyone who is willing to work in this country, and those who do not want to work, should go without. period. end of welfare as we know it.
Fathers of children will be prosecuted if they do not pay support for their children.
All children should be given an education- no matter what, and that includes college too.
And one more-- all chocolate - no matter what name brand, type or contents should be made CALORIE FREE!!!

On evidence, not much. Religion, or lack thereof, IS of no consequence.
