It's hard to say, IMO, how much religions that start to spread and then get stomped on really would have spread. Maybe it would have just been a minority of the population that it really resonated with.
I duno.  In Japan Catholicsim spread to something like 300,000 followers, had full cities and converted many "noble" famlies. 

It got banned because it was seen as more dangerous then Buddism... when originally it was allowed because they hoped it would be a niche religion that would counterbalnce budishm.

Well, I have some passing familiarity with this subject, but you may well know more than me. 

Obviously it would have been a lot bigger than it was if it hadn't got stomped on, whether or not it was majority/minority.  Or ... there are "fad"-like religions, right?  Huge for a generation or so and then rapidly dwindle to a small minority?  Or is that just something I completely made up?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
