    I certainly agree with your predictions for the East but isn't it possible that feudal Celtic states would have emerged in the West which would have been equal to the feudal states which acutally emerged in history?

    I never even thought of how it would have affected Christianity, possible that without the Roman Empire as a means or endorsement Christianity would never have become as prolific as it is.

    Alex paved the way for Hellenism then Christianity in the east, Rome in the west, easier to spread a religion where a common culture already exists.

    Romanization (well... actually Roman itself was Hellenized) in western Europe is the main factor. because Roman carry many technology from Greeks and Egyptian. Also, if I was a celtic king, I don't want to expand my empire to the west or south. I don't want to face Elephant. if I expand my kingdom to the east, I must face Germanic tribe and later my men will suffer some arrow shower from Nomads. staying in homeland would be best chance.

    as for christianity, it was Roman and Byzantines who promote them. unless if Sassanids adopt Christianity. but I see very little chance for Sassanids to adopt christianity. just see their reaction when arabs offer Islam.
