I think humans would have just found another system to pervert for power and control over others. Maybe it's good that religion actually fills that role instead of science? Not that people in power don't use the results of science for their own ends, but at least we haven't waged wars in its name and forever tarnishing a thing of beauty. Yet.

It had its purpose, but we will hopefully be done with religion in another 100 years...maybe. The world is trending towards secularism, albeit slowly.
