Before Paul,there was no 'Christianity'. There was a small,insignificant Jewish sect with nothing to say to gentiles.
Left alone, it would probably have died out within a few generations. Today the west would probably worship Mithras or Ahura Mazda.Out history would be virtually the same in terms of our treatment of one another.
By almost completely removing the Jewishness of the sect and adding some mystery religion elements, Paul invented a new world religion.
Yeah he was crazy, like a fox,
