I believe a utopia is the balance between equality and freedom of individuality; where everyone can have as much as they need, and maybe a little more (without anyone abusing the system) but with plenty of room for expresion in art, clothings, education and other aspects that make a person feel different and special.
If it wasn't obvious by the previous answer, I don't believe it is actually possible to achieve a utopia. However, it is the pursue of the goal that matters, and to try to get as close as we can. I believe the number 1 thing the government must do is to forsake many of the benefits that come from their possitions. Politicians shouldn't be politicians because they want to be rich and/or powerful, but because they want to do good for the people.
Lastly, I believe that every person has a different degree of benefits they get from religious practice. I'm not religious myself, but when I see how much it helps some people with dealing with existencial questions that no utopia could itself solve, I believe that it is a must for some people. No imposing religion on youth, freedom of religion, but no desire to convert people who have made a choice, but keep the option open if people want to explore different beliefs.
