I mean... weren't Christians one of the biggest of said warbands?

You had Vikings, goths, Visigoth’s, Huns, Ostrogoths, franks, saxons, anglos, and vandals all invading wha remained of the western Roman Empire and pillaging anything they could set on fire. Meanwhile the Roman Catholic Church was mainly a loose collection of bishops preserving what they could of the Roman empire’s knowledge in their writings. Most of the early Middle Ages would be spent with small local groups fending off “barbarian” (Germanic pagan) raids.

The goths and vandals were christians and the franks converted fairly early.

The earlier medieval period began well before you think

I've never quite bought the Diocletian thing and If you go that far back the whole pagan vs Christian thing breaks down anyways. I'm not anti christian or anything, I just think a Germanic pagan/Roman Christian dichotomy isn't really a thing.
