Mithrasist probably.
(Is it Mithrasist, Mithraist, Mithraic? Oh well, you get the point.)

Native Americans claim that their belief systems are no "religion." Perhaps there would be no religion... or maybe we are all just getting our defitions screwed up.
Perhaps any number of polytheistic religions or maybe Buddhism or Taoism or Confucianism (if any of these can correctly be called a religion either).
The Vikings arrived before Amerigo Vespuchi, so perhaps the Norse pantheon would take root? I doubt it though since it did not really stick around long enough to be "rediscoved" by Christian explorers.
Could Islam exist without Christianity preceeding it?
One thing I do know: All the angry Christians that claim (in a rather condescending tone) the world wouldn't exist without Jesus simply wouldn't exist. I won't claim this would have made the world any better of a place since we'd probably still be practicing human sacrifices or living to die in combat, but it would be one less obnoxious behavior that I'd experience in a day...

One where Jesus would've had a different name. It's only a question of characters in a story. The plot is mainly the same because people's fears and lack of knowledge were fundamentaly the same back then. Now the knowledge differs but it seems it cannot beat old superstitions, they're too deeply anchored in general beliefs.
