IMO...
In an all theistic world, theism probably wouldn't be called or thought of as
theism. If all people believed in the existence of God from Day 1 and their
offspring continued to do so, it would just be a way of life (and quite likely
considered fact) for 100% of the people, as they probably wouldn't know
anything else except by imagination (since the existence of God is not what we
consider to be dis/provable).
In an all atheistic world, I can't even begin to imagine cuz it's beyond my
imagination ATM.
