And just the religious, agnostics, and the indifferent existed.

Zander: Your paranoid victim stance is pathetic. It's a hypothetical question like, "What is there were no morons/religion/rude people?

no different than it is now, most people who say they believe in God are lying

Probably rather primitive and still at war (over stagnant religious ideologies). Not unlike today (humans just find other reasons to hate each other). But let's not forget that the U.S. Constitution was influenced by the rational Enlightenment and that few religions offer any sort of freedom of belief. So I'd imagine the world would be a place without freedom of speech or behavior -- tyrannical.
Hopefully the indifferent or agnostics would be able spread some sense around.

Most agnostics really are just athesits, you know.
As for how the world would be without free thinkers: I don't even want to speculate on it. We'd never have achieved as much as we have now, from a technological and scientific standpoint. After all, when the whole world believes "Magic Man done it," there's not much point in investigating any further. I think our life spans would all be around 50 years, there would be unspeakable violence and nonstop territorial war (far worse than present-day), and we'd all be afraid of solar eclipses.
I sure wouldn't want to live in such a world.

We'd still be in the dark ages. Plus, the Christians would have a lot less people to try and convert.

It would appear, on the surface, like Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan during Taliban rule.
But I find harder to imagine a world without atheists than I do one without people of faith.

Much better. The lunatics would be completey disorganized. They would have no reason to make believe they were killing the infidel/heathen/non-believer/whatever was popular; but really just stealing countries that have oil.

Absolutely devoid of rationality and unbiased thought.

It is always dangerous to ask what the world would be like without a certain type of person...

Great, then if we ease the religious out gradually we might have a sustainable world community
