The Roman Empire made Christianity the official religion of the Empire, and 'encouraged' the peoples it conquered to convert.

How did Romans helped spread Christianity?

The Romans did not help spread Christianity. It was the other way round. Christianity was spread around the Roman Empire by the apostles, other missionaries and the clergy (when Christianity developed its churches). Christianity started in Judea, which was part of the Roman province of Syria; that is, it was part of the Roman Empire. It became widespread by the third century. It was persecuted several times. There were alternations of periods of toleration and periods of persecution. Then in the early fourth century, the emperor Constantine the Great promoted Christians in the imperial bureaucracy, tried to arbitrate between opposing Christian doctrines and built a number of important Christian Churches. In 380 mainstream Christianity was made state religion the sole legitimate religion and dissident Christian doctrines were branded as heretic and banned. It can be said that Christianity is one of the main legacies of the Romans. It developed from a religion among a small group of Jews into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became the religion of the masses and then state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Late Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main religion in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main religion in the eastern part of the Roman Empire. The further spread of Catholicism in Western Europe was promoted later by Charlemagne the king of the Franks when he developed the Carolingian Empire. The further spread of Orthodox Christianity was spread in eastern Europe by Greek missionaries and particularly by Photios, Patriarch of Constantinople, and the adoption of this religion in Russia by Vladimir the Great, the grand prince of Kiev.

How did the decline of Rome help spread Christianity?

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.

How did the Pax Romana help the spread of Christianity?

During the Pax Romana, travel was possible, and missionaries (who spread Christianity to non-believers) felt comfortable and safe when using the roads, and could spread their message without fear of attack. There were open routes throughout the Empire, and people were more interested in learning the teachings of Christ during a time of peace than they would be during a war or famine- it was big news. Pretty much everyone spoke the same language at the time, as well, so the missionaries could preach easily to the people. After the Pax Romana, Christianity was the official state religion. Wherever the Romans dominated, they established Christianity.
