Just a question, any thoughts accepted

Similar. Another group would likely have taken its place in history. Really, there is a lot to consider for this question, but for the sake of fun, I'll be simple.
Morality does not come from the Bible. Without acceptance that murder, theft, etc. are bad, civilization could not exist. These rules were created so that we could live together, accomplish more, be superior to other creatures, etc. We would have many of the same values, but I think that the ones which are not necessary in a civilization would not be so prevalent... unless Islam or something similar took over instead.

There would probably be some other religious tyranny moving across the centuries and obliterating ancient knowledge.
Or the Roman empire would have better preserved ancient learning and we could be colonizing the nearest planets.
Seriously, there is no way to tell. I'm a bit cynical and I see how religions and governments oppress people, so I vouch for the first.

Pretty much the way it is but without stuff like the crusades, Spanish Inquisition, Salem witch hunts, the Holocaust (Jesus was a Jew), Jihad (Koran is bible based) KKK (anti catholic too) Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swagart ...

Probably better off. There, hopefully, wouldn't be so many people thinking they have the one and only answer to all of life's questions. But then again you know human beings, they just can't leave well enough alone.

Religions are the scourge of mankind - eventually its downfall due to the competing religions all trying to wipe out all the others.

Hard to say. Another religion would have come in. The same morals would have come around. After all if everyone kills everyone, no one would be left. We could all be exactly the same! Who knows.

I guess we would be all cannibals or live like in communist countries where it's forbidden to share the Bible.

It would be wonderful. No justification for terrorism or the subjection of women, people would value reason.
