question

On a plane that is about to crash, we have three groups. The first group, that of theists, on hearing that the plane is about to crash drop to the floor and start praying for divine intervention (which of course, never comes). The agnostics, typical of their 'on the fence' mentality remain undecided whether they should pray or should get up and do something to save the plane. The atheists, 'knowing' that there is no god to save them try their best to keep the plane going or at least land it safely. Perhaps the plane will crash despite all their efforts. But at least they will have tried their best to save the plane.
Now extrapolate this plane scenario to represent our world. What kind of people would you rether have in this world to ensure that it doesn't get destroyed? Question...question.
