>How much would be different had he won the Taiping Rebellion?
Probably not much.
>Could his claim of divinity have led to the creation of a fourth major Abrahamic religion?
No.
>Why did his fellow Christians in the West refuse to help him?
The guy was claiming to be Jesus' brother; and civil warfare in China tends to disrupt trade and make it harder to oppress and extract resources from the country

>fourth major Abrahamic religion
You mean the third.

The majority of his soldiers and administration were non-Christian. He would have been deposed shortly after victory and replaced with an Emperor who wasn't a crazy moron.

And he was refused aid for being a batshit crazy retard who knew nothing about Christianity and made shit up on the fly, not to mention he was bloodthirsty and bad for trade.

Seriously doubtful they would have managed to change anything. Their only claim to power and support came from being anti-Manchu. Defeat the Manchus and suddenly you're dangerously western aligned religiously.
