Christianity. At first the Roman Empire thought it was dangerous and persecuted Christians, however later on more sympathetic Emperors tolerated it and finally, near the end of the Roman Empire, Emperor Constantine embraced it. The spread of the Empire actually allowed Christianity to move from the Middle-East right through to Northern Europe. It is now the biggest religion in the world.

There were several religions which developed during the Roman empire such as Mithraism, the worship of Cybele and Isis and also Christianity. Although these were foreign cults, they were widely practised by the Romans, due to Rome's ability to absorb and identify with other gods/beliefs.
