Let's say the Romans have other stuff on their plate in 33 AD or so and Jesus is not crucified. Perhaps they just ignore him as just another rabble rouser, or if he does get arrested, Pontius Pilate decides to just have Jesus exiled or something. So, in either case Jesus lives the rest of his life preaching or whatever, but does not become a martyr nor, not having been crucified, does he go through the biblical resurrection. End result he dies of natural causes as an obscure figure.

What effects does this turn of events have on the next 2000 years of western civilization? Does this just result in another branch or sect of Judaism? Does Islam still come about they way it did in OTL? Does any one religion become an overwhelming influence as the church did in OTL?
