Biblical Christianity started right after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ around 30 a.d.. They were not called Christians at first, it was a term of derision, meant as an insult that was used against them by antagonistic sorts that were against them and their beliefs. It was a term used to mock them that acted like they were "little christs", which Chriistians took rather as a compliment. They were first called Christians in the First century, in the city of Antioch, which was a hotbed for early Christianity and sending out of missionaries, including Paul the Apostle.

When did Christianity become a leading religion?
Christianity is said to have been founded in the first century CE. I grew slowly throughout the Roman Empire until, at the beginning of the 4th century, it probably consisted about ten percent of the population. At this point, Emperor Constantine gave the proto-Catholic-Orthodox branch of Christianity state patronage. This patronage made Christianity socially and politically desirable for some, and the religion grew quite rapidly. In the decade of the 380s, Christianity was made the state religion, and in 391 CE pagan worship was banned. So, Christianity became a leading religion in the fourth century CE.

How did Christianity spread during the fourth century?
Were it not for Constantine granting state patronage early in the fourth century, orthodox Christianity may have always remained a minority sect in the Roman Empire. Although he granted freedom of worship to all religions, Constantine made it clear that he strongly favoured orthodox Christianity. His support made membership of the Christian Church socially and politically desirable for some, thus leading to the surge in Church membership that enabled Christianity to become the state religion later in the fourth century. Constantine also granted to the Church the right to distribute state food aid, thus allowing the Christians to proselytise to the poor. Constantine's immediate successors persecuted the pagans and encouraged the spread of Christianity. The imperial throne returned to the pagans, but the growth of Christianity had become unstoppable. In 391, Christianity was formally made the state religion.
