Would being the daughter of God have made people disregard the idea of a trinity? Would the idea of being saved by a women have made few people want to follow it?

The Roman Empire would never have adopted Christianity.

Romans were very patriarchal. There were a lot of religions in the Roman Empire at the time but one man one of 4 emperors Constantine 1st decided to make minority religion Christianity as his and the defacto religion of the empire. What if he had chosen Buddhism, zoastrisnism, Janeism etc

And more realistically, I'm thinking traditional Roman polytheism would have prevailed, and possibly focusing only on Jupiter. It makes me wonder if then the current primary religions of the world would be Roman polytheism, Islam, and Hinduism, instead of Christianity being one of the big 3. The British Isles and Scandinavia mightve stayed with their traditional religions or combined with Roman religion somehow. It's all interesting to think about

Think they had adopt the cult of sol invictus by the time of Constantine.

Interesting. Imagine that spreading around the globe!
