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.
Theodosius made the decision of making Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.

Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The people in question did not even know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. Christianity spread though the eastern part of the Roman Empire before the fall of the western part. Christianity developed into two main forms, the Latin or Western Church and the Greek or Eastern church. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the empire and the latter was the main one in the eastern part. Later they came to be called Catholic and orthodox respectively. Both these branches of Christianity became state religion in 380. Therefore,what we now call Orthodox Christianity was already the religion of the eastern part of the Roman empire before the Byzantine period.

The Catholic Church was made the sole legitimate creed (and therefore the state religion) by the Edict of Thessalonica issued in 380 by co-emperors Gratian, Theodosius I and Valentinian II. At that time the Catholic Church was a church which subscribed to the Nicene Creed, a particular interpretation of the trinity and which was opposed to different interpretations by other versions and sects of Christianity. It had two branches, the church of the west (Latin) and the church of the east (Greek). After these two churches split, they came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively. The purpose of the edict was to ban other versions and sects of Christianity which were branded as heretic. It also begun their persecution, particularly that of Arian Christianity, which was popular in the empire. The edict also banned paganism.
