The Roman Empire had a lot to do with the spread of Christianity as we see it today. When Rome decided to unite the empire by advocating allegiance to a specific religion, they merged many different religions together to form what we now know as the Roman Catholic Church. Many non Christian traditions and beliefs were combined with Christianity to form a new religion. The Roman Emperor Constantine, who converted to Christianity later in his life, played a big part in this conversion. After the Roman Empire crumbled and throughout the middle ages the church held tremendous power and worked alongside the various monarchies of the time to create a duel devotion to God and to your particular king. Because of this, the church held power over monarchs and would threaten to remove their support if the rulers would not follow the church's wishes. Fear of revolt by the population that was predominately Christian made most of the monarchies fully support the church.
