If everyone in the world converted to your religion, would the world be better, how so, and why so?

The only thing I would like to convert the world to is vegetarianism and meditation.
Because of vegetarianism, it would be better by reducing massively the global warming. Because of meditation it would be better given the scientifically evidenced benefits it gives to overall health and happiness.

No, conversion to a particular religion does not solve problems but conversion of thoughts do.
That is true...
So thats why I chose meditation

According to my religion this world was never a better place to live on, niether it is, and nor it can be, If this world would have been better/peaceful place to live on, than there would hve been no importance of Heaven/God in this world.
Thus.. my religion doesn't want to collect the big crowd of people, Just a single person who is truely intrested in getting God/Heaven is enough for my religion.
I think the world would be a better place if there was more mutual respect for different religions.
The meditation thing, I believe if everyone took at least one hour a week to just quiet their mind the world would be a better place.
If everyone converted to my religious views, such as they are, everyone would approach religion in a spirit of trying to weed out the valuable from the valueless in the world's religions. That would naturally lead to disagreements between folks over what was valuable and what was valueless. Consequently, the consensus on how to approach the world's religions would soon fall apart in a babble of different views, and the world would not be much better off than before.
I tend to agree with you here.

there would be no racism or nationalism if everyone became one of Jehovahs people because we view all nations as our brothers.
there would be no war because we refuse military service,
there would be no world governments because we refuse participation in politics
I can think of many more benefits...no drug taking, no smoking, no drunkardness, no raping or pillaging or rampaging, animals would not be hunted for sport, there would be no abortions or raping or fighting.... the world would be like a paradise because our goal is to do Gods will and his will is for the earth to become a paradise under the rulership of his heavenly kingdom government. That is exactly what we are preparing ourselves for right now.
The world would probably be overrun with laughing, trampoline-jumping, dancing, whip-wielding, Tolkien geeks who are always on the search for the Perfect Orgasm.
Don't know if it would make the world better, but it sure would be different. :yes:
If everyone converted to Revoltifarianism, absolutely nothing would change.
Sure, sure, my religion would be great for mankind if they actually practiced it.
But people is people, & they'll do what they do.
Religion don't make no never mind.

It's impossible for everyone to be of the same religion because there will always be rebels and doubters and atheists. We would have to have no free will.
So if everyone was of the same religion tomorrow, it wouldn't last very long and people would go there own way and then everything would be back to normal.

I don't have a religion, but if everyone was an atheist would the world be a better place? Probably not just different.

For starters, the world would doubtless be more peaceful given that the Baha'i scriptures explicitly forbid waging war. Indeed, this might well be the advent of the long-promised Most Great Peace!
The rates of drinking alcohol and recreational drug use would approach or reach zero.
Gossip and backbiting would decline tremendously.
Other precepts like sexual equality, education, and a common auxiliary language would take great leaps forward.
There would be other changes as well, but the above should provide a good beginning.
Peace,

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
My religion is meant to work for me and nobody else, everyone is meant to be happy and work for nobody else.
I like it! I'm going to convert right now...My religion is meant to work for me and nobody else, everyone is meant to be happy and work for nobody else.
Hm... Well, if I let myself dream...
If everyone converted to my beliefs then we would all be living in a confederation of eco-communities content just to satisfy our natural and necessary desires, and perhaps a few unnecessary but equally natural ones too. We would still use technology, but it would be more balanced with the ecosystem rather than seeking to dominate it. For example, using the Internet is better than using paper products.
It would be better in terms of ecological stability and mental well-being. It would be worse in terms of being re-conditioned from our consumerist mentality. Also, contemplation and meditation work wonders in breaking up and clarifying thoughts and feelings, which helps in deconditioning.

I would have to say if the world 'converted' to my "religion" there would be complete chaos.
I mean with so many people flat out saying that if it weren't for their belief in Gods punishment and their hope for reward, they would be murdering, raping, stealing, etc.....
