Probably something similar to Paganism. People would more than likely worship the many Gods such as the Sun for giving them light, warmth, and making things grow.

Interesting question. The simple answer I'd imagine is that it would be 'like' our current set of religions but with less emphasis on monotheism (since we don't tend to live in the types of climates that fostered those religions). But a lot depends on what we suppose happens to the population and wealth (land, gold?) in this experiment.
Also, if you had something like a religious neutron bomb that eliminates religious thoughts but not people religions, would not reform at all, IMO. It simply has no reason to form today. The internet alone probably has more factual information than all mankind had at the time of the writing of the Quran or the Bible (and a whole lot more colorful prejudices too).

Beast worship.
The first order of business to put food on the table.
Animals are more physically powerful than humans and evolved for the hunt. Cave paintings depict animals with spears sticking out them.
If all human knowledge disappeared, but our surroundings remained unchanged, would we develop sects worshipping the Food Lion symbol, the Piggly Wiggly pig in his butcher's apron, or the mighty Refrigerator in memory of the food they once provided?

This is very keen question and all of us should think about it. I think people among us who believe in different religions would persuade us that this happened to the world from each of theme’s god. And the people like me who are Atheist will suggest others that we should believe upon no one but "humanity". The people today are using religion abruptly to enhance their power and get their required results, to accumulate more and more money.

We'd be in most awe at nature. We'd sense wind, we'd see rain, snow, lightning, and all those things.
We'd naturally assume that there is something up there making it all happen.
This notion would evolve into concepts like Zeus, and other such gods.
If you recall, Zeus is most often depicted carrying a lightning bolt.
And the notions of these gods would then evolve into a monotheistic religion, and we'd be back where we started.

I don't know, but the Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower would probably play and important part in some of it.

No way to tell. If all knowledge of religion were to disappear, it would not be missed.

it could be anything that rooted from the supernatural. if that happens, one man will stand above the rest it terms of wit. he will lead a pack of humans and his subordinates will believe he has supernatural powers. as his clan grows, so does the myth of his powers. he will be GOD.

It is a sweet imagination. But then God shall come down again with His 10 Commandments.
