If the varieties of theism and other religious belief systems on the planet today didn't lead to so much violence and petty bickering, especially given that we have no agreed upon decision procedures to determine the truth falsity of their claims, then yeah such variety and difference might make our world a more interesting place. Alas, as it stands now lots of the theists in the US are turning the country into a place every bit as boring as the Moon. Control freaks suck whatever the flavor of theistic backing they use to justify their desire for social control. I don't see how a globalized atheistic culture could be worse than that. Yes, atheist control freaks suck too.
