It would be a different place. No diversity, no rules. Religion has shaped this world. It has made some people better, it has made some people worse. Nothing can be changed or altered, that's just how it is.

There would be nothing to argue about. No... my gods better than your god arguments etc. We could all go camping together and sing songs around the camp fire.

None of that's to say that religion is necessarily a bad thing, of course. Just that religion is a course of crime and injustice in this world, as are a lot of other things, whether good or bad in themselves. I'm not anti-religious but there are some life-shattering events that wouldn't have happened if religion didn't exist. Just as slavery in America wouldn't have occurred (at least not on the scale it did) if white people didn't exist, but that's not to say that all white people are racist arseholes. But I don't think you can really say that everything would be exactly the same.

People wouldn't use bible passages to justify them because the bible wouldn't exist. No doubt something else would be there for people to justify awful actions..
