The Earlier Widespread Acceptance of Atomism

I did a thread about this before, but it seems that a lot of people misinterpreted the point of it, so I'll go again:

What if Atomism became widely accepted sometime around Ancient Greece or in the medieval Middle East, becoming as popular as Aristotle's Four Elements theory IOTL?

But It was popular. Epicureanism was one of the four major philosophy schools in the classical world. They taught atomism.
 
AIUI, the antithesis of atomism is not Aristotelian quadressence (after all, what do we mean when we say "element"?), but Aristotelian continuous matter.
