I mean there's this weird idea of Celts as some kind of proto-feminist utopia based on early medieval Irish law texts and just no.

Furthermore I hate to destroy dreams but Christians didn't wipe out Celtic religion, the pagan Romans did. Then Saxons had a go.

At least in Britain. The imperial Romans did a very thorough job of destroying Celtic religion across western Europe though.
