Christianity did not contribute to the collapse of the empire. It contributed to a greater sense of unity and more stability. Christianity became the religion of the masses in the empire. It was declared a tolerated religion because the great persecution of Christians by Diocletian had created serious unrest. Once the state acknowledged Christianity, unrest ceased and the state regained legitimacy in the eyes of the Christian masses.

The decline of the Roman Empire did not favour the spread of Christianity, it was three dynasties of emperors which were Christians and favoured Christanity. One of these emperors also persecuted paganism.
