Even buddhism has nirvana and about seven different hells as far as I know, so without some form of that reward-punishment deal I don't think there would be any religion, and we would probably be left with some actual philosophy without the mythological bullshit (and less crappy hollywood movies too).
Now if we are talking about abrahamic faiths, even without the heaven-hell thing in Christianity/Islam, they would still be a pretty popular religions considering the brutal methods they use to spread their beliefs. If you have to pick between belief and a very painful death( by man or a sky-daddy), I think the choice would be obvious.
