Christianity's rise also more or less ended any chance Epicureanism might have had, and it already was rejected by many Romans. The idea that consciousness ends with death, the rejection of interventionist gods and the atomist hypothesis just wouldn't be made to fit with the religion (although Pierre Gassendi later tried to).
