The early Roman Empire was a polytheistic one. Polytheistic means that the religion contains more than one god/goddess (female god). The later empire saw the rise of Christianity as the new religion, replacing the old deities. The Byzantine Empire, which emerged in the eastern half of what was the old Roman Empire, continued these Christian beliefs, however, it did gradually evolve differences from the older Roman Empire, such as the iconoclasm crisis in the 700s and 800s, which caused internal pressures, as well as the idea of having a Patriarch, particularly the Patriarch of Constantinople, lead the Byzantine Church, whereas the Western Europeans increasingly followed the Pope in Rome. This resulted in the Great Schism in 1054, the culmination of centuries of gradual separation between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, that, in some ways, continues even today.
The Byzantine Empire viewed religion as an integral part of the state, with the Emperor as the head of both the political and religious affairs. In contrast, the Roman Empire tolerated a wide range of religious beliefs and practices, and while the Emperor held religious authority, it was not as closely intertwined with the state. Additionally, the Byzantine Empire placed a strong emphasis on Byzantine Christianity, specifically the Eastern Orthodox Church, while the Roman Empire encompassed a wider variety of religious beliefs, including Christianity, Paganism, and Judaism.
