What happened to those earlier religions ? Whether everybody of them was converted or most of them ran away to safer lands or were they annihilated by new comers in different cases?
a-i: Pagans.
there is a difference before catholocism and christianity.
In most acses there was no ‘religion’ in the sense of organised public faith – with some exceptions. Ancient Egypt had a range of official cults (to Ra-Aten, Horus, Isis, etc.). The ancient Canaanites (Palestinians) also worshipped a range of Near Eastern gods (Baal, El, Asshur, etc.). The Persians (Iranians) were Zoroastrians prior to the arrival of Islam, the Vikings worshiped Germanic deities (Freyr, Thor, Oddin, etc.), and the Romans had a range of classical and more exotic cults which all coexisted relatively peacefully.The Mongols worshipped the sky god of the steppe, but converted to islam in the fourteenth century.
Most of the rest had no official ‘religion’ as such.
The ‘blanket’ answer is pantheists, polytheists, monotheists, pagans, animists, and why-does-this-sound-like-a-homework-question-theists.
