What would the world be like without Abrahamic religion?
We would have greater cultural diversity, nationalism and interesting nations that's for sure. Probably have less broken families too.
So utterly different that it's almost impossible to guess. Without the spread of Christianity and Islam alone the world would be almost totally unrecognizable.

Impossible.
The world had to go down this way, it's God's will.

Christianity was the uniting factor when Roman empire was disintegrating, this prolonged the death by few centuries.
Without such a force, Rome would have disentegrated and in its place, feudal kingdoms all over Europe. Mongols would have rolled over them without much resistance when they would eventually come. Persian empire might be more Buddhist like and former eastern Roman parts would probably be similar to Persian empire. Although they'd be stagnant.
Mongols would eventually conquer all of the known world from east to west. Mongols mainly stopped due to infighting created by Berke and his conversion to Islam. If Berke didn't convert to Islam, Ilkhanate would roll over the Persian empire and Egypt/North Africa. Berke/Ilkhanate would then push Europe with combined effort.
Ilkhanate might convert to Buddhism as the main mongol force of Yuan was turning Buddhism. India would be invaded by the Chagatai who would probably be Buddhist as well. Indian conquest of Mongol might be more successful.
Then we might have Mongol Americas.

I honestly belive natives would fare better under mongol rule/relations than with europeans.

It's a stupid question. You can't just ask "hey, what would the world be like without something that has been a major influence throughout the entire world for the last 2000 years, pervading just about every facet of society?"
So much of culture and history has been influenced by Abrahamic religion that I doubt a person could even think of all the ways that the world would change without it.

without them china would probably a world power right now colonizing the americas while most of europe would be still stuck in an iron age tribal society with the remnants of the roman empire being semi feudal.

nope

Most of the East has very minimal influence from Abrahamic religion. Only with their interactions with the west has there been some influence.

It's an Adam Curtis doc lad, his commentary is always very superficial and just vague cynical criticisms of mainstream perspective punctuated by irrelevant asides.
7 minutes in and It's very clear this is just ripped from the book Looming Tower, which is a more interesting and informative source than any curtis doc.

Then you still have to ask yourself things like "what would have happened without the Taiping Rebellion?" in addition to all of this. Or without the Jesuits influencing the Chinese court. China's interactions with the West could be completely different without Christianity or Islam existing. Hell, Islam has been in China since the Tang Dynasty.

Taiping wouldn't have happened. The major change in timeline would be during the reigns of Mongol. So Taiping or anything since the Mongols would be much more different.
