If the majority of men accept your theory, then how the world would be: order, chaos or progress?

Why is this question directed at those "who don't know"? Agnostics are precisely those who DON'T have a theory. So what exactly is your question and what is the theory that you think agnostics have?

Agnostics neither believe or deny the existence of god... if everyone thought this way nothing would happen. there would be no chaos, order and progress would probably follow just because everyone would be on the same page. Why would chaos occur I don't understand where you could have gotten that idea. Your question is stupid and very poorly thought through. If you really knew anything about Agnosticism you wouldn't have asked this question. And no I'm not Agnostic, I'm Atheist.

So much war and other oppression stems from some people's claim to a truth from some revelation, and others' adherence to another.

Imagine if all the disputes of mankind were, in principle, reducible to arguments from facts.  Imagine if people gave each other the benefit of the doubt (doubt is the opposite of dogma).  There would be a great deal more freedom as a consequence of doubt, and if people searched for facts to try to solve disputes, it would almost always lead to progress.

Maybe progress. People would be more interested and open-minded at hearing what others have to say.

Anndd... we'd have less problems with the government and religion poking into each other. More separation! :P

God All Mighty is Agnostic, follows no Religion and has no party. We all would be back to Times of Harmony, not the present Kaos

progress, most agnostics are explorers at heart and if all people were agnostic i think that more people would want to find answers and progress would be made.

Governments would no longer be able to control people through their beliefs, nor could they use the idea of any god to justify wars. Wouldn't this be fantastic? There is no TRUE separation of church and state in the US.

People would live more responsibly because they would only have themselves and other people to look to for help.

Each person would be accountable for his or her actions and reactions.

With no god to beg for a better life and no belief in an afterlife, people would live life to the fullest.

No one human being could claim to be superior to others because of his or her belief system. The world would be more peaceful and there would be much less division between "us" and "them." (There would be much less othering.)

More chaotic, but more progress as well. Chaotic progress, I guess... :-/
