I've been working on my main OTL, The Gospel According to Hiawatha, in which Jesus is born to the Iroquois and in which Xu Fu forms what would have been Japan in the West Coast of North America. However, I don't want to forget the old world, but I'm faced with two real questions if I want to continue:

1. Is it feasible for the Prophet Mohammad to adopt Zoroastrianism (instead of the in-this-OTL-Nonexistant Western Chrsitianity) and unite the Middle and Kind-of-Far East (Persia)? I'm sure Mohammad would have formed a religion even if christianity wasn't around to influence him...

2. In a Roman Empire without Christianity, would the Roman Empire's fortunes be changed in any way? Without Islam to throw the Persian Empire into chaos, would it endure like the Byzantine Empires?

This is by no means a new OTL, this is just a topic with which I can explore my options with my own OTL.
