What if the Epicureans had prevailed?

I often wonder what would history would look like if Epicurean thought had prevailed over cults of the roman era and Christianity had died like Mithraism.
What do you think?
What do you think?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
