How did the rise of the christian faith affect traditional roman religion?
Christian faith as such did not affect the traditional Roman religion much. It continued to be practiced in the traditional ways. What happened was that many people converted to Christianity which became the religion of the masses in the empire. The number of adherents to the Roman religion became greatly reduced. However, there were still plenty of pagans. What affected the Roman religion the most was the adoption of Christianity by the emperors in the Late Empire, rather than the Christian faith as such. Some of these emperors banned paganism and persecuted the pagans.
