It's a good angle on a typical question, nice shit.
To me, even the debate in God is more about us debating what our perception of God is, without being able to effectively communicate or come to the conclusion that really we are arguing about our perception rather than the truth.
Witty brought up some good points that are often overlooked --- for just as much as religion does to minimize certain folks from doing horrible things, it also does the reverse in a world of polarity.... It allows 'divine' justification of some of the most atrocious mass-murders and genocides.
So to me, the world would only seem different for a very short while during a transition from believing to not believing --- then it would balance out again, and be the exact same as it is today.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.
... so even if the world never believed in God again, they would rally around 'apex' beliefs, and "create through division" (created in the image of their creator, as we do), and whatever the most overarching belief systems are re: life/death and life after death, will have the same effect.
Thus, the only change would be in our perception that change existed, in my humble opinion.
