Best Answer

It was opposed because of its identification with rebellion against Rome (by opposing its polytheistic religions and challenging Roman authority).

Christians were widely persecuted and were mainly confined to secret groups. But their beliefs gained acceptance when the Roman leaders decided to adopt it into their culture, and eventually Christianity became the official religion. When the Western and Eastern Empires split, the Byzantine Empire in the east was based on Christianity and came into conflict with the Islamic religion that had spread to Arab regions.
