No missionary effort would be successful on its own without the support of a militarily powerful lay authority. That said, if Christianity failed in Ireland, the Germanic and Norse Polytheists would make headway in the British Isles. By 600-700 CE, Germany, Scandinavia, Britain and Ireland, by then sharing the same cultural and religious beliefs, may develop a seperate and distinct civilization from Christian Europe. In Ireland, the last vestiges of the old Celtic Druid class existed until Christianization. If they merged their traditions with the Norse colonists in Ireland, we might see the rise of a new scholarly class in Norse Polytheism, which could spread around northern Europe. They might carry the seeds of new Pagan-born idealogies that may shape the future of Europe. The Irish already had Ogham writing, while Germanics had their Runic alphabet. In Britain, being richer in agriculture than Ireland, northern Germany and Scandinavia, and being across the seas from the Christian Frankish statelets, a new kind of Polytheistic theology could be crafted.
