Where would the world be right now if religion never existed?

I don't think there would be less war, they always make up a reason. And as much as religion has divided people it has united them. Religion stops people from doing this like killing or stealing because of the fear that there's a God watching you. Religion works like a conscience, gives people principles.

Yet that didn't stop the inquisition and the crusades, where hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the name of god and religion, right? 

I don't think that all religion is wrong and that a world without no religion would be a much better world. There are some religions who uphold sentiments of peace and human progression through science and self improvement, and then there's some religions who uphold completely contrary sentiments, which unfortunately set us back almost a thousand years in terms of scientific evolution and human morals.

Me, i'm a Wiccan in religion, and a geneticist in science. Those two beliefs co-exists with each other, because they don't go head to head in nonsensical backwards dogmas.
