I think that Christianity played an important role before and during the fall of the Roman Empire. Historians explain that this made Roman citizens become pacifist which made it easier for the barbarians to invade Rome. This explains why it was so easy for the barbarians to infiltrate into the city of Rome. Another reason why Christianity held a major role for the decline of empire was that money was used to construct churches instead of having been used to uphold the Roman Empire.
