So, would it make the world any better for the sake of a few billion people? Any opinion welcome.
If you had proof that God didn't exsist, would you show the world?

Yes, to watch the chaos unfold.
Actually I don't know what would happen.... That would be an unprecedented event. There are millions of ways people could react

I wouldn't.
Religion, while it causes fights, also brings an untold number of people happiness. When WYD came to Sydney, I was annoyed because it was disrupting my lifestyle for something I didn't care about. But walking past the pilgrims, and seeing them so happy, it changed my opinion on religion.
So no. I don't think that sort of thing is really necessary. And people would still keep believing, but it would just give the evangelical atheists more ammo.

Depends, for one, I don't think billions of people would listen to lil' ol' me, but if they would, for the most part I think I would keep it to myself for the most part and not widely publish it. It'd be enough for me to know that there is no god and I'd be very happy in that knowledge.
However, if the hardcore religious ever really pissed me off by succeeding at trying to wreck/run/inhibit etc. my life like they some times try, I would blow the doors wide open and let all hell break loose.

If I had undeniable truth I would show it to world PURLEY because they tried to force me into Cristianity through constant propoganda in Primary school.
No... because everyone would try to prove me wrong... and that would take up too much of my precious time.
No, because it would not accomplish anything.
The idea of faith is believing in something even when you have no real reason to do so. Even with undeniable proof people would still believe in a god. So it wouldn't stop those insane fanatics from killing each other over their religious beliefs. It would only create pointless controversy.
EDIT: You can't actually prove that god doesn't exist. You could only prove that he does exist.

Why does X hate Y/Was (Insert War Here) Right/Gay Rights/Religion X/Generic
Political/Generic Hot Button/Generic Misanthropic Topic has been
talked about to the point of redundancy. Do we really need to
discuss it again? Why not find one of the many, many older
topics on it already made in this forum to post your generic
regurgitation of something we've already heard before; reworded
slightly differently in a poor attempt to sound intelligent on the
subject?
How about you actually put forth some effort into being
creative/interesting by making a topic on something new and unique?

On the one hand mankind would have the right to know that there is no God (if we've been lied to about 'God's will' for this long then we deserve to finally know the truth of the matter).
On the other hand, religion brings out the best in many people (even if it also brings out the worst in others) so for these people to discover that their beliefs are false would cause more harm than anything.

Yes. Even though I am religious, I would still tell everyone. It is their right to know the facts, it's how THEY interpret them that makes the difference.
Oh I wouldn't, think of all the people who actually rely on knowing someone is always there for them. Or take dieing people or relatives of those in hospital knowing that once they pass they have someone/something.
Also it would make followers of other religions far stronger. Which wouldn't help anything.
