Christianity was a galvanizing force that enabled Europe to resist Islam, and for a time to resist the materialistic scheming of Jews. You can game alternative history to death but there's no way to know how things would have played out if not for it, but up until a few decades ago things played out pretty damn well for Europeans after adopting Christianity. It's only as we lost our Christian identity that things started really going to shit. It may not be a direct cause and effect, but I doubt its a total coincidence.

Are you forgetting how thousands of years of heritage and knowledge were destroyed and millions of people were killed? Not to mention how huge portions of Europe were conquered by the Muslims with no real collective effort on the part of Christendom to change that for centuries of Islamic rule. Christianization was a dysgenic process that weakened Europe severely
