Would we currently be at this point of civilization without religions?

We can't really know what the world would be like now without the advent of our current mainstream religions. I think we would have to be a fatalist to think that our current situation is only the way it is because certain events happened that paved the way for our mainstream religions. Even if the abrahamic religions didn't exist they could have still been some other religion that took over. Assessing our technology now and how smart we think we are now is all relative. But, without religions we at least wouldn't be persecuted for not believing in a god or worshiping a god a certain was etc. maybe there would be another demon like people really into their countries and killing people all the time based on geographic origin. We can't know how the world would have, should have, could have been. All that matters now is we don't let religion cause further harm to people's brains.
