If Iraqi's were all secular Athiests
LanceMcSteel:
Thoughts?
k-onmmunist:
Absolutely not. Atheism brings clearer logic.
John Dibble:
Potentially, yes. Al Queda and other religiously based terrorist groups would certainly have no problem blowing up a bunch of godless infidels.

Pravda:
It would still be violent. The resistence groups rather than being nationalist/religious would more likely be nationalist along more secular lines. Socialism would likely be more of a centerpiece to the insurgency. There would also likely be less infighting (ie between Sunnis and Shiites) of the insurgency and more of a focus on the US military itself and expelling imperial influence, both through the destruction of US forces in Iraq, the Iraqi satellite government, and imperial capitalism in Iraq.
All in all it would be more organized, and less bloody. Atheists would not be compelled by religious zealotry to blow themselves up to kill innocent bystanders either. Nationalism would be more prominent in place of religion or "salvation" as it were.
