When you consider the astronomical number of people in the world i.e. 6.5 billion people, it seems to me that we should be marvelling at the amount of stability, rather than focusing on the instability in the world.

In my view, Religion plays a huge part in maintaining that stability. To expect to displace religion throughout the world with atheism IMO is not only unrealistic but may have disastrous consequences.

You couldn't displace religion unless everyone was willing to say.. "I don't believe" all at once. Replacing religion would hardly be disasterious, in fact it could just as easily be uniting..

If everyone in the world was christian, the would would be a better place?... If everyone was Muslim would it be better place?

There are so many religions in the world, which one is right?...
