What was the main reason the byzantine empire converted from Christianity to Islam?
The underlying premise of the question is incorrect. The Byzantine Empire never converted to Islam and Islam was, by and large, illegal within the Byzantine Empire for as long as it existed. The reason why the territory formerly controlled by the Byzantine Empire became Muslim-majority was because it was conquered by various Islamic States such as the Rashidun Caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Seljuq Turkish Empire, and the Ottoman Empire (which finished the job).
Why was the Byzantine Empire considered a theocracy?
The Byzantine Empire (the surviving, and Greek, part of the Roman Empire) was not a theocracy; it had a secular ruler, not a priest as ruler. However, the Greek Orthodox Church had a significant role in Greek society, and in matters where the Church had a considerable interest, its concerns would have been taken into account, and even guided the ruler's decision. As the Byzantine Empire shrank over its 1000 year history, the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople came to be the undisputed head of the Church in the Byzantine Empire, but he was never actual or defacto ruler of the state.

How did god use the byzantine empire to perserve valuable cultural skills and knowledge?
The Roman Empire was falling apart, we might've never known science, medicine, and laws, like we know them now, without God making the Byzantine Empire possible and keeping it going for so long. I mean most things we know come from Rome and their philisophers. All though the Byzantine Empire was mixed with greek culture, it was also mixed with Roman culture, preserving what we know now. In these ways, God used the Byzantine Empire. I hope this helps and its actually better than the anwser I orginally wrote.
When did the byzantine empire collapse?
Previously, crusading armies had occupied Constantinople, but the Byzantine Empire never fell and ultimately reclaimed their capital every time. But in the fifteenth century the Ottoman Turks, led by Sultan Mehmet and armed with the newly invented gunpowder, successfully captured much of Greece and, in 1453, penetrated Constantinople's three walls, made it their capital, and renamed it Istanbul, officially concluding the Byzantine Empire and the 2206 year legacy of the Romans.
Which famous empire conquered rome and the mediterrenean basin?
What comes closest to what you describe is the Ottoman Empire. However, the Ottomans did not conquer Rome and did not take over the whole of the Mediterranean. They defeated the Byzantine Empire by taking its capital, Constantinople. Byzantine Empire is the name historians use for the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The west had already fallen more than 1000 years earlier. Also note that the city of Rome itself had never been conquered by anyone. The Ottomans conquered the Middle East and North Africa. On the European shores of the Mediterranean they only took over Greece and Albania. Apart form this, Mediterranean Europe was not reached by the Ottomans.

How did the Crusades affect the Byzantine Empire?
The crusades, originally intended to save the Byzantine Empire, among other things, failed to do this and hastened its decline instead. The crusaders sacked Byzantine cities and eventually captured Constantinople in 1204. They then used Constantinople as the capital of what is called the Latin Empire, which it remained, until the Byzantines managed to recapture it in 1264. The Byzantine Empire never really recovered from this, though it held on for almost another 200 years.
