How did the fall of the Roman Empire lead to different forms of worship?
It did not. Different forms of worship existed durning the empire. The Romans tolerated the religions of the conquered people, though Christianity was pesecuted several times. This was because it spread throughout the empire (while the others were localised) and, unlike the other religions of the time, it was monotheistic. The various forms of Chrisitanity developed before the fall of the empire. No new religions developed out of the fall of the empire.
How did the romans treat other religions?
The Romans were very tolerant of other religions. The toleration and in some cases incorporation of foreign gods and beliefs, was part of the reasons for Rome's success.

Why did Judaism and Christianity not fit into the empire in the same way other religions did?
Whenever the Romans conquered a nation of pagans, their religion easily coexisted with Roman paganism. If you already have a large number of gods, there is no difficulty in accepting a few more. Thus the Romans were particularly tolerant of the beliefs found in the new provinces. However, Judaism and Christianity presented a difficulty because these were the only religions apart from Zoroastrianism, which was beyond the reach of the Roman Empire, that insisted on the worship of only one God.Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) tells us that the pagan Romans were prepared to accommodate the beliefs of the Jews and never persecuted them for their religion, in spite of occasional uprisings. He says that there must have been some other reason that led to the occasional persecutions of the Christians.Once the Roman Empire came under the rule of Christian emperors, there was no longer room for other religions in the empire. Constantine demanded that the Germanic tribes that he conquered convert to the Christian religion, as the price of any peace treaty. It was also under the Christian emperors that the systematic persecution of Jews began.
