I want to see a secular world government in place in my lifetime. It won't happen, but that's my hope.

I also hope we colonize another planet in my lifetime.

The hope for mankind is that each generation will be smarter, better educated, and more successful than the generation of their parents. Oh, and also more able to understand and appreciate the philosophies and religions of other cultures so that war becomes less and less likely. One might hope that in a century, or so, all people will live in peace and prosperity and a sense of mutual respect.

I would hope that we could build a society based on reason and rational thought. In this society we would idealize and promote people who are actually worthy of praise, unlike our current state, which seems to be about hip hop music and reality tv stars. With more people working towards the common good with an emphasis on learning and creation, a better society would have to emerge.

Often times I feel like we're being held back from a better life by how lazy and stupid our people are. Society says its okay, so it must be okay... Most athiests feel like religion plays a role in that form of apathy.

It is my hope that one day we'll make our laws and important policy decisions based on logical reasoning and rational discourse rather than irrational fervor.

I hope that children can receive good educations so that the USA will no longer lag behind the rest of the developed world in math, science, and other fields.

I hope that schools can soon teach the Theory of Evolution without religious people throwing temper tantrums over it, and demanding that we teach fairy tales alongside proven science.

(Oh, and for you ID people, a scientific theory is not the same as a "theory" in everyday talk. Look it up.)

It is my hope that we'll stop fighting wars over whose God has the biggest balls.

If I think of any more, I'll add them.

You said you wanted to hear from atheists but you also said open to anyone, so here goes:

I do not believe that their is any hope for mankind without God. And yes, I know that is not based on intellect, logic or reasoning....but on faith. Sorry.
