perhaps the real underlying issue, and I don't really know, is that for the 7 billion people on the face of the Earth, and growing everyday, would we live differently on the Earth if we knew that there was no active God manifesting. that is, how differently would non-believers act given there is no God. just us humans, with our limited consciousness in a terrarium of sorts?

we Americans are highly individualized. a lot of the others maybe not so much?

so, what would be our difference in actions if the secular humanists outweighed my ancestors, the Bible-thumpers??
