It’s surprising that pagan religions of Europe have disappeared, but polytheistic religions of Asia (especially India) survived and are still widely followed there. Why?

    Roman empire prosecuted Pagans in later eras in same way they prosecuted Christians in earlier eras. All countries in the Roman empire were dominantly Christian.

    Asians were not part of Roman empire (neither did Arab for that matter) so they maintained paganism until eventually Islam eliminated from Arab region and so only Asia survived
