Would life be more peaceful?
Would everybody be more happy?

if MOSES was an Atheist, what his 10th commandments would look like?

1. There is no God. Do not worship God.
2. There is no such thing as Heaven. Don't create any foolish Idol.
3. Thou shalt not mention the word "God" or Santa Claus or Easter bunny

5. Honor thy Government, Police officers, and other law makers.
6. Thou shalt not murder. We shall not have war.
7. Thou shalt divorce if spouse commit adultry.
8. Thou shalt not steal, commit fraud, kidnap, and so on...

No. Wars are the result of conflicts of opinion between groups of people. The existence or non-existence of God has nothing to do with whether or not there would be war. Without religion, there wouldn't be any religiously-motivated wars, yes, but they'd still have found something else to fight about.

Some of the Ten Commandments of the Atheist Moses aren't really any different from originals... Some of them are actually good rules regardless. Others, such as telling the Israelites not to refer to the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus don't make one whit of sense given the time period in which those events were unfolding.
 
Without God ? All the universe and this earth will never be made. Without God, we will never be born on this earth, because there will be no earth without God.
 
There wouldn't be anything different in most of history if the Christian God was never postulated as to exist. The only difference would be those Crusades, the Inquisitions, the Holy Roman Empire, and various other Christian persecutions wouldn't have happened in the name of Christianity, they'd be made in some name of some other God.

1. Atheists don't say you shouldn't worship God; they just don't believe in it themselves.
3. Er ... no. That's ridiculous for so many reasons, *even* if we want to say that they don't exist.
4. Again, no. Many holidays aren't religiously affiliated, and the benefits of vacation and holidays are obvious. Besides, there are many holidays that have taken on secular value; let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
5. I don't see how this is relevant. And making trust in one's government a commandment is dangerous.

The whole idea of The Atheist's Commandments, if you will, is ludicrous; many of us are freethinkers, and abhor the idea of central control of our beliefs, morality, and lives.
 
Crusade?

1st Crusade - fought against Turks. Took Jerusalem and won. Alexius I, Byzantine Emperor organized this Crusade.
2nd Crusade - At Asia Minor, failed. Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany organized this Crusade.
3rd Crusade - Won, Pope Gregory VII, Phillip of France, Richard I of England, and Frederick I of Holy Roman organized this Crusade.
4th Crusade - Muslim took back Jerusalem, Pope Innocent III organized this Crusade.
5th Crusade - Recovery of Holy Land, fought against Egypt.
6th Crusade - Success, Frederick II organized this Crusade.
7th Crusade - failure, against Egypt, Louis IX of France organized this.
8th Crusade - Louis IX died after organized this Crusade, failed again.
9th Crusade - Edward I of England organized this Crusade, accomplished a little, against Syria. He retired afterward.

So Crusade wasn't really a big deal.

It is alike living in communist era, people who lived during those time were having problems also. Dealing with depression, hopeless, faithless, visionless, and go on. Plus they drank alot. Where is happiness, peaceful, and getting along with people?
 
What would the world be like?

I'll still be here. :)
 
This is what it would look like: Read the bottom, as I paraphrashed and reworded it.

Amen!

KJV Bible say here

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
 
Without God ? All the universe and this earth will never be made. Without God, we will never be born on this earth, because there will be no earth without God.
