How unfortunate is it that Christianity is no longer a valid religion with all their requests for money in the name of God?
The money they request is used for the building, pastors income, and other services for the people who attend there. If you think about, the money is all used to serve the people who give it. The Bible also says to give back to God what he gave you. Aside from that, a pastor's pay is quite low compared to what they would make if they where not a pastor.

Why did a Roman Emperor make Christianity the official religion of Rome?
AnswerImperial support for Christianity and opposition to paganism were already underway from the time of Constantine, and there was arguably no definitive year in which Christianity became the official religion of empire. Paganism had to survive nearly a century of persecution before Emperor Theodosius (379-395) finally outlawed worship at pagan temples in 391 CE and forbade gatherings of another recent religion, Manichaeanism. He also gave tacit approval for the triumphant Christian church to pillage and destroy those pagan temples that had survived nearly a century of persecution. This marked the end of public worship of the pagan gods, thus making Christianity the only authorised religion of empire.

How was Christianity different from most other religions at the time of the Roman Empire?
A:Once Christianity had been declared the religion of empire, it became possible to ban the worship of the ancient gods and persecute pagans. The bishops had free licence to plunder the pagan temples for their treasures and marbles, as the temples were now considered to be of no further use. Christianity no longer had competition for the hearts and minds of people in the Roman Empire. Eventually, pagans could be forcibly baptised and required to take part in Christian worship, or suffer the death penalty. This was important because it gave the Christian Church unprecedented powers over the lives and inner thoughts of every person.
