Eutopian Efforts Usually End In Disaster.
Be it theist or atheist, without taking into consideration the flaws in human nature, such lofty passions lead to disaster. Nazism, Communism, Islam, Jonestown, the list goes on and on.

A true eutopia is impossible. That's why we should liberalize society and just let people choose.

What about the soviet Union? Communism is flawless on paper, but when it was put to use, it failed. If It wasn't for Gorbachev, They would have had a massive civil war to deal with.

 Communism is the perfect system... for ants. It just doesn't work for humans who inherently want to get ahead and improve their own position. If everyone was happy with the status quo and never wanted more for themselves or their children than what they are given, I'd support Communism all the way.

Unfortunately for communism, that's not the reality of the human condition.

Take a look at Rome, a perfect society during the Pax Romana, but all things come to an end, if they start to begin with.
When you refer to 'Utopia' you usually mean a perfect society without flaw, correct? Unfortunately, humans always have and always will have flaws. That is what makes us human. When people try to establish a utopia, it blows up in there fact. Take Hitler, for instance. He tried to make ''Aryan unity in a new and perfect world" (exert form Mein Kampf).
A few years later, he shot ( Or burned, no one knows) himself, and his helpers were punished at the Nuremburg trials.
This clearly shows that a perfect utopia is not possible, nor in reach.

Islam hasn't ended. It had its ups and downs throughout history and still going strong.
