It's hard to say, really. I mean, the positives are obvious, like no more people blowing themselves and others up thinking they're going to a better place.

The negatives, though, are more subtle. Look at all the people who seem to need something to believe in before they can clean their life up, or something to "save" them. Would these people survive on their own? I imagine some of them would become followers of someone. Maybe Tony Robbins would have thousands more flocking to his seminars to walk on hot coals. I don't think the zealots and fanatics would suddenly become normal and well adjusted.

Sounds like a good science fiction novel. Someone proves that no god exists and the world goes crazy.
