In democratic or pretending to be democratic countries I believe we’d see a greater emphasis put on the reduction of Human suffering. In flagrantly undemocratic countries either the ruler adopting social policies for their people or a significant spike in militant unrest as the ruler is in opposition to living well in the one life we’ve got.
There’s still going to be shysters and there’s still going to be people who don’t know and/or don’t want to deal with statistics so there will still be various movements against the wellbeing of of people but I expect that they will be significantly diminished compared to now where they can appeal to the will of eldritch abominations to justify their malevolence.
I would expect racism to both get better and worse… better in that for the average person ethnicities that are commonly not whichever religion is dominant in your society there should be less nonsense to justify distrusting them and worse in that the shysters may lean in on racial hatred as their means of control.
I would hope that there’s less war as the justifications made to the populace of my homeland tends to occasionally be flavored with religious bigotry. However, I’m well aware that those justifications aren’t the main reasons for those wars, if anything they are worse. I suppose it’s a matter of if the lies used to sell war to the populace are as convincing without religion and simultaneously how acceptable people find the notion of going to war with the knowledge that they’re risking their only life.
