What was the reason that Christianity spread throughout the roman empire?

As far as I know, in the late era of Roman emperors, people had their way to do anything, and they did (remember, it was the age of Caligula, Nero, and peacock feather to make you vomit so you can eat more, then repeat, and I will not go into details about the sexual liberties).
And, as it happens many times in history when people do something to the extremities: they got sick of it, and wanted something better, something new. And in this situation had arrived a religion of love and of some very strict expectations (eg. offering your other cheek), after a long time of moral chaos. So it started to spread, even though it was a forbidden religion first. But when martyrs die for what they believe, you start to wonder, why they do it.
Later, Constantine the Great had his reasons to make this the official religion of the Roman Empire, which was helpful, too.
But I'm relying on some memories from history classes, and the novel "Quo Vadis", mixed with some personal guesses, so if you need more, there's plenty to research.

Who spread Christianity throughout the Roman Empire?
More than anyone before him, Emperor Constantine spread Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. True, Christianity was already well established, especially in the Greek-speaking east, long before the fourth century, but Constantine gave the religion state patronage, offered career preferment to those who claimed to be Christians, and began the long persecution of the pagan temples. From this time, and with this impetus, Christianity spread quickly in the Roman Empire.
