Do You Think The Christian Dark Ages Could Have Been Avoided?

Do You Think The Christian Dark Ages Could Have Been Avoided?
Historians generally say that the actions of individuals and individual events are mostly irrelevant in the long term and history tends to converge towards the same point regardless.

Christianity was undoubtedly the most violent and intolerant religion to come out of the classical Greco Roman world, and thus as soon as it gained power its adherents persecuted non Christians to an extent no other religion would have done.

If Constantine didn't convert to Christianity could things have turned out completely differently?
Or could there have been a counter revolution to Christianity at some point in the 4th century which would prevent the abominable religion from taking over everything.
