We must return to proclaiming powerfully and joyfully the event of Christ's death and Resurrection, heart of Christianity, principal fulcrum of our faith, powerful lever of our certainty, impetuous wind that sweeps away every fear and indecision, every doubt and human calculation. — B16

While I don’t believe that universalism is in line with the message of scripture, I do have to ask this question:

If the doctrine/idea of universalism was actually true, what would that do (in your view) specifically to the atonement Jesus accomplished on the cross.

I know that there are lots of other doctrines that would/have to drastically change if one adopts a universal salvation position. But specifically the atonement, the reconciliation of man to God… If I ever become a universalist (which I want to lots of days), I don’t know if it would really change  my understanding of the atonement all that much.
