In pagan times, the new Roman religion called Mithraism became a real threat to the growth of Christianity. However, Mithraism began to go into decline, replaced by worship of Sol Invictus, and then Emperor Constantine gave Christianity state patronage, ensuring its eventual success.
In later centuries, Islam also challenged Christianity, replacing it as the dominant religion in North Africa and the Middle East.

In what ways did Christianity differ from the Roman religion?
Christianity differed from the Roman religion in several key ways. One major difference was the monotheistic belief of Christianity, as opposed to the polytheistic beliefs of the Roman religion. Additionally, Christianity emphasized personal salvation and a moral code based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, while Roman religion focused more on rituals and appeasing various gods and goddesses. The spread of Christianity also challenged the authority of the Roman state religion, leading to conflicts and persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire.
Did you know that a lot of people are obsessed with controlling other people and having power and authority over them and that is called Christianity?
No I didn't know that, I thought that is religion. Christianity is not about religion it is about relationship .
The religion that challenged the authority of Christianity?
Not really sure what you mean in your word phrasing. If you mean during the period of Roman Catholic Holy Empire, then I would say other Christians challenged their stance/beliefs/authority. The Roman Catholic church slowly became the widespread version of Christianity as the original Jewish Christianity (which, in ancient times was not called "Jewish Christianity" but instead called "The Way"), Orthodox Christianity of the Byzantium Empire and the Gnostics became "heretical" in the evolving Roman Catholic belief system. Over time, the Roman Catholic Empire had changed so much from the original, that Martin Luther (not intending to start a huge mess) gave the church his famous 99 thesis. When people read the Bible for themselves and found out the changes that the Roman Catholic Church had made, many diverse groups rose up to challenge it. Since then, Christianity in general has become more widespread but it isn't the same as before. If you are asking about a non-Christian belief system that challenged the authority of Christianity, there aren't any. Don't misinterpret that- all other belief systems deny (and in a sense, challenge) Christianity's belief system and ideas. But because of the Protestant Reformation, Christianity doesn't have "authority" in government so it can't be challenged.
