Were other European religions better than Christianity?

Well, as I said, economics was also the reason for the empire's decline, not to mention the barbarian invasions....
Indeed, however the fall of the greco-roman faith contributed greatly to the abolishing to these practices, and well, the eastern Roman empire also persisted longer than the western empire.

And penis jokes aside, I can tell you that neither christians, nor pagans, nor muslims nor anyone else were a peaceful people, and that going to war has simply less to do with religion, but more to gain loot and land during those days, but yeah, his birth festival could also be celebrated with any kinds of gladiatorial games, but obviously, Jesus was not into that. Besides, a single God, meaning a monotheistic religion, was simply the next stage "of" religion, rather than a few gods that had numerous tasks, was simply seen as more convenient, although there were certainly a few more cults around that time that promoted similar views, christianity emerged as the superior one.
Not to say that it didn't benefit Europe, it certainly did.
