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

I didn't watch the video (messed up computer). But I don't feel we would be that farther along without religion. The advancements which have led to the most benefit to mankind have been in agriculture and medicine. These in turn were made possible from advancements in thinking by people such as Thomas Hobbes and Francis Bacon. The technological revolution was preceded by a revolution in thinking. I don't think that religion played much of a role in the timing of this development. It came in the timing that it would have without religion. Cultural revolutions just take time, with one thinker preceding another thinker and so forth through time.
