If Christ was European, say he was instead crucified in Gaul for upsetting Pagan chiefs, how would history have changed in the long term?

It would have prevented you from posting this thread with an interesting question and just getting a bunch of responses about your hamster.

That depends, I believe, on what sort of followers he had and the kind of documentation made. We have few concrete records of ancient European civilization, especially in relativity to early medieval eras where non-pagan nations were being documented much more. I think that, if there was still a religion based on Christ as it is now, it would've been smaller and much less influential.
Jews would likely have a stronger presence in that time, being more solidified as there was no religion to challenge them. If we assume that Christianity did not rise as it did in our timeline, most European countries that adopted that faith would likely become Jewish, and the crusades would have been differently justified.
Alternatively, Christianity may have spread much faster in Europe. Since there was no Judaism to compete as a monotheistic religion (assuming we are referring to strictly Pagan nations) then Christianity would have potentially become the European equivalent of Judaism, however, would have a much stronger influence from certain Pagan beliefs as there would have been no Jews to create the influence they had on Christianity originally. It likely would have been less violent and probably would have much less sub-categories if allowed to spread more naturally in its place of origin.
Nice hamster btw.
