We'd all commute to work in personal helicopters, and have robot maids.

Its pretty hard to say. Christianity has been exerting its influence on Western Civilization for 2000 years. You'd have to figure out what would have happened in Europe from the Dark Ages all the way through to the Age of Exploration.
That's way too many "what if's" for me to even venture a guess.
I will say this, christianity did do one great thing for Western Civ., and that was during the Dark Ages after the fall of Rome. The Church kept many of the writings of Greece and Rome preserved, ready to be read a few hundred years later. Without that Classical knowledge, its not too hard to say our society would have developed much slower.

There are too many variables, it would be impossible to answer a hypothetical question like that. Maybe the U.S. would exist in some form, with Zoroastrianism or Buddhism or Druidism as the religion. Who cares?
"Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there is one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear."

Interesting question... A bit like Israel today, with a bit more of the stern Old Testament Laws in place, perhaps?
Isn't it great that Christ came to be? He made all the difference in the World (literally!) !

Christianity in America has staved off the "onslaught of Satanic behaviour and practices"It's only recently that some in America have accepted Satanic lifestyles,but as true christians know,that's on par with the onset of the endtimes

Because so much of western civilization was affected by religion, it's possible that the US as we know it wouldn't exist either.

We would all follow the Native American God who only asked of us that we live in harmony with all His creations

I think - it would not be an US at all, and The Native American Indians would rule.

Being that out founding fathers were 99% Christian and beliefs bible based I'd guess we would be another 3rd world country. Only in my opinion.

I believe their would possibly be no U.S. since the Pilgrims ran away from the Catholics for religious freedom. We "were" founded on Godly beliefs. God bless.
