No offense dude but I don't think the Roman Empire fell because of Christianity. . It fell becaus the Romans themselves disappeared.
But . . if the Roman Empire had continued to exist , I think it might have conquered the world . . (they already had conquered a part of the known world back then . .) . .
But . . when a certain people vanishes the culture will vanish also . .

Even the xtianized Byzantine Empire lasted until the 15th century.

I think they survived because they were relatively unmixed . . .
On the successor of 'West Rome' , the 'Holy Roman Empire' of the Germanics , Catholicism thrived while Eastern Rome adapted Orthodoxy . . .
