...and society would be a bett? Is one complaining/implying that if the world were just more xtian, then the world and society would be a better place the same/similar as saying that if the world and society merely believed in the same one thing, the world and society would be a better place? That is, it is not xtianity per se that creates the better world/society, rather it is the oneness of belief…mass belief in the same one thing that creates the better world/society. Therefore, the mass oneness of belief could be belief in anything…as long as the vast majority believe in the one thing?
 
Would it be a better world if everyone believed in anarchy? Or the sanctity of the nation/state? If the mass belief was for universal harmony, love and peace the world would probably be better. Unfortunately, i believe we evolved from cannabalistiuc killer apes and that urge is hardly covered with a thin veneer of love and peace.
 
I believe it is human nature to agree that a place is a better place when everybody is enjoying life like those inside Disneyland regardless of the religion each carry.
At the end of each day however, you may find that even if it is a happy place, some individual will have something to complain about no matter how small or big it is as an issue.
Disneyland authorities of course will try everything to clear whatever it is and will see that nothing of any sort will come out to destroy the reputation of being a happy place.
In the same manner as in One Christian world or whatever religion the world is into
Every nation under one rule and one belief lives happily, harmoniously and peacefully as long as there is no hunger, no oppression and no unrest is blown out of proportion to the knowledge of the many.
Some ideals coming from outside interference have also proved to be harmful for many peaceful nations.
It will never be true that anyone religion alone will make a better world for it will always take a hungry stomach and an oppression to bring chaos. Some 500 years ago a Christian world in its glorious past was a decadent one.
 
All stable societies require a certain oneness of belief in order for large groups of people to effectively function as a society. Usually this agreement is codified into laws that interdict certain behaviors deemed disruptive to societal relationships. If oneness of belief is taken beyond that certain narrow boundary necessary for stability, then Oneness of belief does not create a stable society. It creates a stagnant society. It is the free-thinker, the out-of-the-box thinker, the independent thinker, the liberal thinker who is responsible for moving society forward. It is exactly those kinds of people who are lost whenever single-mindedness is enforced or required beyond the most limited requirements
 
I suppose it depends on what they believed in. Certain systems of adopted thought might be more beneficial than others. For example, if everyone agreed that cooperation and compassion should be the basis of some shared belief system, the world would have a better chance than if they agreed that it is greed, excess, and cruelty.

If everyone truly lead a Christ-like life, opposed to violence and stressing people over things, then it might be a better world. But those values don't work well with capitalism, so there is a bit of a problem
