What hoaah212002 said. Education, education, education. Real education, not excuses for education (read indoctrination) given at so many religiously orientated schools.
Birth control. People should learn to be more responsible, as the world doesn't have the resources to cope with the current human population and then the very high population growth in some areas. Education also tends to help sorting this one.
Democracy. Democracy is not the perfect system, but it sure is way better than all the others.
The worst scenario for humankind would be to repeat the old theocracies Western Europe experienced during the Middle Ages and are very prevelant in certain areas of the globe today. This has to be prevented at all costs. It will only lead to disaster.

Then start praying like a maniac. Oh, no, on second thoughts, praying didn't get us to the moon. Science did. Praying hasn't produced a light bulb. Science did.
You want to take us to overpopulation to see the "light"? Yeah, tell that to every little starving kid in Somalia and Sudan, and, and, and. The only light they can see is the torch the UN aid workers shine in their faces when they are taken to die in relative dignity all on their own.
Religion really is a brain virus. It kills the brain and leaves some people completely distached from reality.

Still the solution!
After all this ra-ra-ra, arguments and non-arguments, ideologies and economic solutions, religion and non-religion, etc., I still think the only way to start addressing the problem is; stop breeding as if there is no tomorrow and couple that with putting as much money as possible into the proper education of our precious children.
Then the future really will be bright for humanity. Who knows where the scientific method might lead us to? We really are bright (well, most of us are). We're not the most intelligent species discovered so far in the Universe for nothing. We are clever!
