Religion is the source of most of the worlds ills?
Do you think if it were to disappear tomorrow, the world would be that much better?
Religion or better yet in the name of a god or gods, has done many evil things in the world since the beginning. It has also done many good things. It also gives those who have nothing faith and hope for a better future.
The problem as I see it is even it it did disappear, we would find something else to fight and argue about. Race, ethics and land to name a few. It is decidedly human to form groups or tribes, and this is where the trouble starts.
So I feel it would make no difference at all except most hope would disappear, and life for many would become meaningless.
