So a few days ago I met some man with a cross necklace around his neck he said he was a Christian and asked me to convert. So I decided to do a little research and it turns out if Constantine hadn't adopted Romanism (SolInvictuss GermanicPolytheism syncretism) then it could have taken hold. Your goal is with a POD no earlier than 400 to convert the Germanic tribes to Christianity. If it is to ASB then you can also convert the Roman empire

How is converting the entire Roman Empire less ASB than converting what were then sparse pagan tribes?

Anyway, converting the Germanic tribes only to Christianity doesn't seem too hard. After all, the Gothic Khaganate ended up converting to Judaism. Perhaps if the Christians were all expelled from the Roman Empire at once and formed an urbanized minority across the Danube, with the largest settlements in, say, Pannonia. From here the Christians could proselytize their faith to various Germanic kingdoms like Rugia, Vandalica, Gepidistan, and Herulia.

Well, the Cult of the Solar Emperor DID have its Invictuss Inquisitors (with their fancy golden sashes and pointy spears) who generally made it hard for other monotheistic religions to lay down roots. I mean, people talk about the religious tolerance of the Roman Empire and how it allowed them to retain control of its vast population without producing the kind of backlash the adoptors of the "Abrahamic" faiths tended to get from their peasant populations, but offical policy was one had to be willing to conduct the required sacrifices and rituals to the honor, health, and fortune of the Emperor and his Empire to prove themselves loyal parts of the community and civilization, which after the adoption of the Solar Cult required swearing an oath to the SUPREMACY (not exclusivity) of the sun's divine status. That's what ended up getting the Jews in trouble, in the end, since they lost their loophole, leading them to be exiled into Arabia for their "2nd March through the Deseret".

Of course, without that our result would likely be no emergence of the Mohammedian branch of Judaism under their "2nd Moses" a few centuries later, but that's besides the point.
 
Eh Roman Polytheism and the Imperial cult were too strong. I think it would actually make more sense for Persia to convert to Christianity, aside from Zoroastrians.
