    There is no hope in Atheism. It's a sad, sad belief system. They have NOTHING to look forward to.

    Reality isn't a utopia. As an atheist, I only claim to have an opinion on the existence of gods that appears more in line with reality than that of a theist; that has nothing to do with whether an atheistic universe is more shiny and sparkly than a hypothetical universe possessed of gods. Reality is what it is, regardless of what you or I want. The universe does not and cannot care about our preferences. If you believe whatever you like best, rather than whatever is best supported by evidence, you're going to end up in trouble eventually.

    No one is offering any utopia of any kind. The false promises of religion are far from utopia. I'm agnostic and If God exists He's got to be hugely disappointed with all of this religious idiocy. So as an answer to your question I'll say that a world without religious divisions would almost be utopia-like.

  • Utopia..let's see, well I'd start by changing government, do you know how friggin crappy democracy is? It let's stupid people vote, and since over 90% of any population is stupid...yea, not good, example is bush. Geniocracy is better, it only allows people with an IQ of 160 or more to run in a council, not individually. And it only allows people with an IQ of 115 or more to vote. Also I support paradism which I personally think is a utopia, it let's everyone have anything they want for free. That is possible by robots doing all the work for us such as farming and manufacturing. And since they don't need a salary, we can get food, housing, clothing, etc... for free and that also enables us to do what we want for free anytime of the day. Also since science will be in the work of that, there will be no need for a god or to believe in one, we can take care of ourselves with the ''god of science''.

    What kind of question is that? Reality check time.

    1) All atheists have in common is that they lack belief in gods. Nothing more.

    2) Atheists are not claiming to offer an utopia, so you are making zero sense here.

    3) If someone proposed an utopia, would your criticism of it truly be that he didn't come up with it himself? Even if he didn't, does that actually matter in the slightest?

    4) Atheism is not "an offering to the rest of humanity". Atheism is the lack of belief in gods. Please learn the basic definition of something before talking about it.

    None, but last time I checked the Theists aren't doing any better.

    Anyway Atheism isn't about solving the worlds problems, there's either a god or there isn't, and so far I've seen no proof for one, so Atheism is the natural choice, decisions about hypothetical Utopias that will never exist didn't come into it for me.

    So offering a fairy story and the blind belief it will be delivered is religious utopia?

    Crack on mate, let me know when it arrives, I'll go and sweep some leaves up from the back yard.

    Being in tune with Reality is like a breath of clean mountain air after breathing the rank stench of religious delusion. Give it a try.

    Being atheist has inspired me to offer my services to the only important thing in the universe - preventing suffering.

    The kind of utopia where it's known that there is no such thing as a utopia.
