Was the Romans friendly to the Christians?

Uh no. That's why they killed Jesus. They didn't like anyone worshiping anyone other than their king or their gods. The Romans usually killed Christians by stoning them to death or by hanging them on the cross.

How did Romans handle Christians that didn't worship Roman gods?

The ancient Romans typically absorbed the deities and religions of the people they took over, since they perceived that this helped the government remain stable. In 64 AD, however, issues with judaism and the sole god became an issue with the Romans. Nero scapegoated the Christians as causing the Great Fire of Rome and from then on, persecutions of Christians and Jews continued until about the 300s. There were areas where Christians were accepted, and there was no issue.
