If everyone was an atheist, most of the wars would have never
existed. People could have spent their time important things like
population control, health research and education.

 
I believe most wars have been fought of some individuals' aspiration
to control other individuals, their minds, and their property, which
includes their labor. Religion has indeed been a motivator of those
aspirations, but love of money and power is also a very big motivator
of them.
 

PS Did you know that Uruguay prohibited any form of religion
in government- owned places? They have no Christmas, no Easter, no
religious holidays at all.
And because of that it has the highest life quality (HDI) of
South America.

 
For what it's worth, I also don't think government should celebrate or
honor religious holidays. Relgious leaders would then be compelled to
move the celebrations to weekends when governments are being even more
worthless than on weekdays.

Although the Green religion (get rid of humans to preserve a
perfect earth) might well catch up on that death toll.

Not to argue but do remember that the Colt 1911 was said to have been
developed specifically to kill Philippino nationalist who were
defending their perceived right Not to be ruled by a country half the
world away :-)
