The Jews are wiped out, their histories erased. Christianity is never born. Without Judaism and Christianity, Islam is never born. What does the world look like?
Greek and Roman Philosophy was still around, but I suspect that every empire eventually falls due to its own wealth making its people weak, spoiled, and stupid, while other peoples go through hardships and overtake them.
So the Roman Empire still falls, however there is no Catholicism or Protestantism.
Do The Old Gods still hold sway or do people eventually grow out of them?
What would the first book be that was printed if the Bible never existed?

An eastern religion like Manichaeism becomes the dominate faith of Europe and spreads similar to the Abrahamic faiths.

Christianity is one of ancient Roman cult, which won and destroyed all other. The only other possibility was victory and further monopoly of other cult.

There are no hovercars.
In fact, how can there be a hovercar without cars?

Well, Romans would use one term for god, another term for lesser gods, therefore their religion will be alike abrahamic monotheism with angels by structure. Because no jewish influence, character of god is not jewish and don't have any jewish psychological complexes.
Not bad, but, philosophers were biggest enemy of Hellenic faith, not south-east religions.

Too exclusive and complex to be widespread.

I see no reason to assume the old faiths wouldn't persist in some fashion, most likely along neo-platonic lines where all the old deities are seen as being aspects of the same divinity.

Are wrong, and without xtianity, the western world as we know it would be polytheist or post-polytheist after a fashion.

Anyway to answer another part of the OP's question it would probably be something about the roman empire, without the christian religious angle we're left with straight appeal to the majesty of the roman empire.
