Filled with love, and understanding. Everyone believes that their religion would make the world a better place, but it is simply not true. For instance some Atheist can be great people, but some can be just pure evil, and the same goes for basically every religion. So it depends more on the person than the religion. Although religion should form the basis for what people believe, it is not always the case. Some people claim to be a Christian, and do not live accordingly. I obviously believe that true Christianity would bring true peace to the Earth, because it teaches morals, and a selfless society. Where a Satanic society, will be concerned only with self gain, and will be completley destructive.

It's hard to say. We have this saying: "two Jews, three opinions" so if everyone believed what my religion believed, the world would be much the same, just on a smaller and more focused scale. If everyone believed exactly the same thing as I myself believed...I guess the world would be more peaceful, as theres less to argue about...but it would also be very boring, as a difference (a peaceful one!) in opinions and beliefs is part of what makes the world go round. I don't think I would like it much, although if it meant that people would stop killing, I would gladly accept it.

I think there would be no more religious faith and I think, although we'd find other issues on which we disagree, there would be no more faith-based violence. I can deal with a little more boring if a lot fewer innocents are killed because of religious differences.
By the way, I do NOT want this world to come about by force. I'd be delighted if everyone, by their own accord, suddenly dumped irrationality into the trash and emerged faith-free, but I'm CERTAINLY not about to advocate such an existence be forced on anyone. While I very much would delight in a total disintegration of faith, I also very much support religious freedom. I don't want anyone, the government or anyone else, controlling anyone's right to be who they are and believe what they will.
Thought control is bad!

No change.
If nobody believed in a god, we'd STILL war over oil and money and territorial boundaries. We'd STILL pollute the air and the water, strip the oceans and slaughter every animal on the planet that we could find. We'd STILL rape and murder and steal from each other and technology and fashion and society would continue as it does today. Because man is a single minded animal after all; concerned solely with himself. And it's man's selfishness that drives this world of his, not any form of religion or deity.

I wouldn't want everyone to believe what I believe. Not only would it be boring, but if we all thought alike, where would the questions come from? For a society to advance - we need people who question their beliefs and the way the natural world works. I also think humans naturally need some conflict to be happy. As much as I hate to say it - conflict (just a little) keeps people's minds active and keeps us from getting too apathetic.

If everybody practiced wisdom and altruism, not even having to believe Buddhism... this world would be infinitely nicer... however, due to my bad karma in past lives, I share the some of the collective karma that all of you reading this here share... what I did to be reborn as a hated human being in this world where wars, cruelty, arrogance and so on... it must have been pretty darn bad.

That's tough because we all believe in different things.If however everyone was a Christian like myself there would be no debate on evolution. No debate on who God is and we would all try to forgive each other for doing bad things but we would still be who we are. We would still do wrong things. That's why we have Jesus as a savior.

I have no beef with people believing what they want to believe. If someone decides to believe in the Flying Purple People Eater than so be it. What I do mind is when they try to force their views on me. So I think the world would be a lot more laid back if everyone believed what I did.

Just to point out Hinduism and Wicca fall under the label of Pagan
