We are talking in the Roman Republic period, right?
What would having no Rome do for something like Christianity even forming. Judea isn't controlled by Rome...there would be no need for any anti-Roman factions. No need for a revolution. No need for a messiah. If you believe in Jesus living or not, there would be no cause there to stir the people to the levels they were at around 30 AD. No Jewish rebels. None of that. If you believe the religious aspect, then God might have held off sending down Jesus until later. If you don't then there would have been no need for their to be even a tale of this holy figure or his deciples running around the Roman Empire speading his words and tales. No need for some Jewish sect to start causing trouble against Rome because they won't worship the Emperor.
Makes one wonder.
