I feel that the world would be a lot cooler if Greek/Roman polytheism had become the prominent religion in Europe instead of Christianity. Not only would the religious parts of European culture actually be European in origin but polytheism generally seems less able to maintain dogma, less able to prevent advancements in science and culture, less divided and more accepting of other religions. It could have merged with Scandinavian and other European polytheist religions to create a European equivalent to Hinduism.
