You say you want a world without law, or with no religious type law.
What promises do you offer to me that you won't get greedy? What promises will I hear from those who know so much? Atheism sounds interesting, how can I be sure, it's not a trick? Do you really think humans can be trusted?
All humans?
Look around you, do you lock your doors at night?
Do you have secrets?
Tell me, wise and intelligent atheist, what promise do I have that another Hitler won't be born through atheism?
Don't fix what isn't broke, boys and girls.
Yes, I dare call life as is, perfect.
Deny, defy it, I promise it's a million times better than a world with no foundation for it's moral.
Prove God wrong, you'll only be proving him right.
God knows why.
Do you?

There are no promises but then Hitler was born into a religious society, grew up in a religious country, with a religious family, so even if things remained exactly as they are now, you'd still have no promises that another Hitler, or another Pol Pot, or another Idi Amin won't be born. You are wrong to try to equate laws, morals, or ethics with religion.

Considering the fact that the large majority of the world's population is religious in some way, and the majority of the religious people are NOT Christian, and also the fact that Hitler has nothing to do with atheism, I'd say your question is highly close-minded and irrelevant.
Get a hobby. Keep your religion to yourself, cause atheists don't like being preached to. That's why we're atheists. :)

Society's Law is completely different than Religious Law.
Not an atheist, but Hitler wouldn't have been Hitler if there weren't a bunch of foolish followers that couldn't make a decision for themselves (sound familiar?)

another hitler cant be born if there is no religion, he used it as an excuse.
with out religious law, people would not discriminate as much, there are still racists out there.
im not greedy at all, it all depends on the person.
thats what it all comes down to, the person. if they are just raised to be good, do their best, have fun, raised on chivalry, then the world would be better.
god knows not, if god did know, god wouldnt let religion have the power it does.

I think the answers you are receiving are most kind. Personally I think you have some real mental issues. You live off another [an unknowable deity] and as such actually have no life, so I would reality question your perfect life.

Fallacy: assuming characteristics of atheists that are untrue
Lack of god does not mean lack of morals or laws.
Lack of god does not mean greed takes over.
Lack of god does not mean lack of trust.
With your faith in god, do you leave your house unlocked, your keys in your car, your wallet laying on your desk while at lunch?
Belief in god does not mean human behavior is fruitful or purposefully directed for the common good.
Whose morals are stronger?
ATHEISTS - who have an intrinsic sense of positive and negative behaviors, understanding that each situation is unique calling for flexible rules. Atheists possess an internal compass -- a golden compass -- to help guide them toward positive and negative outcomes. Atheists possess great courage by taking a stand on something they believe.
BELIEVERS - who would have no sense of morality in absence of god or bible. Believers whose only sense of morality comes from an external source yet possess no internal compass to guide them through life. Believers only have a book to point to for their beliefs.

Out of convicted rapists, 57% admitted to reading pornography. 95% admitted to reading the Bible.
I lock my doors at night to protect my self from what is most likely to be a Christian.
By the way, judging from your jap. anime avatar, I'm guessing you would be interested to know that Japan is a secular (non-religious) nation, and also has some of the lowest crime rates and one of the most prospering economies. Coincidence?

Nope. Atheists say they don't believe in God. Their views on law and politics are entirely their own. Atheists can be left, right or liberal.
