Christianity didn't spread into Germany and the other third of Europe until Charlemagne, Rus, and conversion of Bulgars and Slavs. All around the 9th and 10th century. Scandinavians not until 10-11th century. West Slavs and Balts didn't become christian until the high middle ages. And there were Hellenic "pagans" within Byzantium still in the 9th century with active temples, and Byzantine writers from the time kept referring to "Hellenes" (their word for pagans) still in the second millennium; as if there still was an active non-christian presence to defend christian doctrine from (and they weren't referring to Muslims since these weren't called Hellenes).
