I must confess I belive more in the "demografic" explanation: levantine slave and plebs in I century Rome syncretized the Julianism you described and "post-pharisee" Marcionism in Christianity. The "european" flavor of Julianism conquered the Romans (and then the Europeans) but missing a "Roman" patronage (I doubt the Emperors loved Julianism, if Pliny's letter is to be belived), when the Judizers stroke the semitic virus was permanently ignected in Christianity - Rolo would love that.
