With a POD somewhere between 100 and 300 AD, how could this be made and how would the world look like today? I was thinking along the lines of Christianity having its core in Asia Minor and North Africa, whereas central, Northern and Eastern Europe remain largely pagan. Southern Europe becomes a zone of conflict, with Rome resembling something like OTL Jerusalem: a holy city for both pagans and Christians. Islam might still emerge, though it'd be interesting to make it like a smaller, "back to basics" Christian cult in the Middle East.
