If we assume that all of the atrocities that have been supported, condoned or even committed because of religion would not have happened if religion did not exist, then the "western" world would most definitely be better off without religion. This is, I think, the core of the anti-religous feelings around the world.
...is that, as has been commented upon earlier, there are a huuuuuuuge list of atrocities carried out by those who were not only not religious, but specifically anti-religious, and whose atrocities were carried out in the name of creating an atheist, religion-free society. I name Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot as three of many who have such blood on their hands. By the standards you enunciated above, isn't it fair to assume that the world would be better off without atheism?
