Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Was it a utopia in Stalin’s USSR? Was Cambodia a utopia under Pol Pot? Is Cuba a utopia? North Korea? China? IMO there will never be a utopia until humans truly respect and love each other. A disbelief in God has nothing to do with respect and love.
What about progressive atheists? Would their rule be a utopia? IMO, there are many human behavior patterns that have natural causes and are necessary and good, but which are generally not understood or appreciated by many progressives. Progressive politicians have been trying to fix society for a long time, and the results have been dismal. For example, some think the way to cure poverty is to disband corporations or hamper trade, even when experience shows those fixes to be bogus.
Perhaps if humans come to realize that our true essence is a unified field of consciousness, then there’d be no need for anyone to rule the world.

Science would flourish, respect for our planet and environment would increase, petty prejudges would lesson.. Religious wars would disappear. History would be cleaned up.. We'd move forward as one ..not as battling, competing factions. Human evolution would take it's next leap forward...

Varn:
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one...
There'd be one less bit of nonsense to worry about but mankind finds ways to disagree, today it's about religious ideology tomorrow it could about.........potatoes, but probably, initially, we would argue about what fills the void.
Mankind has to change fundamentally in his approach to other men and the environment, until that happens nothing will change. Removing religion in itself wouldn't make much difference IMO.

If we are being realistic, religion is what stopping most of the humans from Becoming savage. Please, don't talk about exceptional religions or what could it be if everyone are atheists. There are many different atheists but we all know how different are we from the religious. I don't know but if this is the process by which the world gets filled of non believers then I can bet that the world would be a lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot........ better.

Capitalism and the class system is the reason we have 'haves' and 'have nots'.

But we had them before capitalism.
That was a long, long time ago. The stone age.
And in those times everyone cooperated and shared. It was the only way to survive.
The human race would have died out otherwise.
@Ellatynemouth capitalism isn’t all that old. We had feudalism, mercantilism, and many other systems. Capitalism is a relatively recent form of social organisation.
