Inspired by a map I (thought) I saw in this thread, but perhaps saw somewhere else (?), I decided to try my hand at a "Christianity Went East" scenario. It's a WIP (planning on doing the whole world), but Europe is mostly done aside from a few colour adjustments. The basic premise here is that there are three major branches of Christianity; Oriental (or Eastern), Occidental (or Western/Roman), and Islamic (or Arabic). There are two things that occurred in this word that also occured in OTL; the Arabs exploded out of Arabia, and the Norse went a-conquering. Islamic Christianity is still Christianity, it just has a slightly different flavour to the others.
Germanic paganism is therefore divvied up likewise. "Pure" Norse paganism in Scandinavia and the French coast (heavily Scandinavian settled ITTL), Saxon paganism west of the Rhine, Anglish paganism in England and Wales (which I imagine as being "Norse lore but Anglo-Saxon words and names"), Insular/Irish paganism (Norse settlements in Ireland and the Isles), and Icelandic paganism (or
Ásatrú if you prefer - basically a semi-organised variant brought about by the Icelandic tendency to coalesce and create cohesive administration systems to survive).
We also have two variations of Slavic paganism - the main one is "pure" Slavic paganism, and then in the Illyrian region there is a version influenced by Greco-Roman philosophy that is more tightly organised.
There are also scattered remnants of Greco-Roman religion around Europe and the Near East, as well as Tengriists in Ukraine and Bulgaria, and of course the two remaining forms of Celtic paganism (Insular/Gaelic and Continental/Gallic). Oh, and the purple-blue bits are Buddhists and the dark orange are Zoroastrians.
