Did christianity spread or decline under Roman rules?
It could not decline from nothing - it did not exist until after much of what was to become the Roman empire was already under Roman rule. It spread, particularly after the Romans accepted Christianity under Constantine
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 Christianity strengthen the Roman Empire?
A: The unity of the Roman Empire meant that the emperor's word was law. When Constantine urged all Roman citizens to follow his lead and worship the Christian God, and when he made it clear that men of ambition would further their careers by adopting his religion, the entire empire knew what he expected. When Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of Rome in 381, this meant that his subjects were required to become Christians. Just a few years later, when he made the public worship of the pagan gods a crime punishable by death, his word carried right across to every corner of the empire. A: The unity of the Roman Empire certainly helped the spread of Christianity, but is unlikely to have helped Christianity become the empire's main religion. In fact, Emperor Constantine gave state patronage to Christianity in the belief that Christianity's own unity would help create greater unity in the Roman Empire. He is reported to have been dismayed to find just how disunited Christianity really was. It was state patronage by a succession of Christian emperors, accompanied by persecution of the pagan temples that led to the dominance of Christianity.

The United States of America was a place where Christianity was important, but is in a decline, but will never be completely eliminated until God creates a New Heaven and a New Earth at the end of the millennium.

Additionally, it appears the whole of Western Europe is also in decline.

To some extent, the history of Christianity is to die in one area but grow in another area. Evidence of this is to be found in areas as diverse as Britain and China.
