Why did European Paganism become extinct, but Hinduism and other Asian IE religions survived?

by fotruguson

i’ve been wondering why the indigenous pantheons of europe all died out with no exceptions, but hinduism and Zoroastrianism survived. Does anyone know the reasons why this may have happened?

Do you have any particular Pagan religious traditions that you're interested in? European Paganism covers literally thousands of years of history and an entire continent.

As a followup question, we know that there are Pagan communities across Europe today. Is OP’s premise correct (i.e. are these all recent revivals after dying out, or are any of them unbroken traditions since the pre-Christian period)?

Can I ask a question on top of this one? I hear the term European paganism a bit. Does it refer to one religion or multiple?
