Without the first Church council, Western Christianity would not have established itself. The internecine conflict between Arians and Trinitarians would have devolved Christianity into fragmented, competing, regional superstitions and a curious footnote in annals of Roman history, to which the likes of the Eleusian mystery, Mithras worship, and Isis religion are consigned. Without a defined, institutionalized, uniform religion, it would have been to Mithras, and not to Jesus, to whom the West may have turned their worship, resulting in a much different type of civilization than the current Western culture. Though many perceive centralization and institutionalization of doctrine in negative bias, without defined, uniform, ritualized belief system, religion devolves to mere fad.
