If the Byzantine empire never fell, as in, they regained control of Egypt and had peace with their neighbors in the east.
Would there have likely been a great west VS east conflict with the Roman Catholics VS the Eastern Orthodox? A great crusade to end the schism and control the city of Rome?

>Roman Catholics VS the Eastern Orthodox?
No, at no point (despite some incidents) did they want to kill each other. Eastern and Western Christians still intercommuned hundreds of years after the schism, in some cases even into the 17th century.

Roman Catholicism never stopped Western European states from waging war against each other.

If the Byzantine Empire and Sassanid Empire didn't keep antagonizing each other over their neighbor's occasional mistreatment of Zoroastrians/Christians, politicking their vassals and allies, and what not then yes both would've had bigger long term impacts in Asia, North Africa, and Europe.

No, not about religion. Imagine the cold war except with Greeks instead of Russia.
