What would this world be like today without religion?

What if it never existed? What if it had existed, but society as a whole transitioned out of it? (from theism to atheism) What if some religions we know like Christianity/Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, etc either never existed or ceased to exist?Would this world be a better or a worse place to live?

I imagine science would have advanced much more rapidly, as people wouldn't get attached to their guesses about the inner workings of everything. People might not have felt as close to their tribe mates in deep history, making it more difficult for civilizations to develop, but there could be much less conflict, as religion does cause or justify a lot of warfare.
