At Midnight GMT a small miracle occurs. Everywhere , all at once, religion disappears. Every trace of it. Every holy book, every deity, every hymn, every religious symbol. Every memory of religion disappears from the human mind. Some people wake up and wonder why they are wearing funny hats (We will keep the hats for this exercise). The rest of human memory, culture, cuisine, art, song, industry, technology, science, medicine remains as is.
What do you think will happen?
Probably the same as what already has happened. First, the revival of some type of animism or polytheism in response to the 'sensus divinitatis'. Following that, a philosophical inquiry replicating the natural revelation of ancient Greece resulting a "God of the Philosophers". After that, it would take some special revelation in order for there to be knowledge of Divine Truths and a subsequent synthesis of faith and reason.
