If we have a POD after 500 A.D how can we have a surviving Pagan religion with widespread followers in Europe after this date?

In our OTL the Mari people of Russia are considered one such surviving Pagan faith however they have little influence beyond their immediate sphere and officially converted to Orthodox-ism during the Soviet era.

Other "late" surviving faiths are notably the Lithuanian pagan faith which survived as a state religion well into the medieval period despite repeated attempts at forced conversion.

What other Pagan faiths may have lasted this long or longer if events had taken a different turn?
