Did Christianity end viking society?

No. Vikings never ended. They simply began to cohabit with others. In England, for example, the Vikings were granted permission to settle on a large chunk of the country if they stopped their raids. Religion had nothing to do with it. Over the years, Vikings simply reproduced with other Europeans, gradually slowing down Viking culture. In parts of Scandinavia, Iceland and Greenland, some remnants of Viking culture is still around.
