Detailed explanation-1: -The Roman Empire was primarily a polytheistic civilization, which meant that people recognized and worshiped multiple gods and goddess. The main god and goddesses in Roman culture were Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Christianity became the state religion, the Church reduced the state resources by acquiring large pieces of land and keeping the income for itself. The society had to support various members of the Church hierarchy like monks, nuns, and hermits. Thus, probably leading to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -Missionaries spread Christianity, although Roman emperors did not accept it for many years. Eventually, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman empire, with the result that monotheism became widely practiced and replaced polytheism.
