I don't see how Leif Erikson not being Christian correlates to Norse settlement in the Americas. You could also make the argument that him not being Christian would, if anything, lower the chances of Norse settlement, considering that he reportedly discovered Vinland while on a mission from Olaf Tryggvason of Norway to introduce Christianity to Greenland.
