Why were the Romans so accepting of Christianity?
AnswerWhereas some people seem to assume that the ancient Romans spent all their time harrassing and persecuting the Christians, this question seems to assume that the ancient Romans were perpetually friendly towards the Christians. The truth seems to be somewhere in the middle.Some Romans and others in the early Roman empire did have concerns with Christians. After all, Christians refused to worship the ancient gods, which made them guilty of the crime of atheism. But apart from this it is in the nature of polytheistic religions to be tolerant towards other religious beliefs. When you do not have to spend your time defending the integrity of your god as the only god (because to the Romans, there were many gods, and no one even knew how many) you can easily be tolerant towards any one who comes along with news of a new god.

Who tried to revive Christian persecution?
From the time of the Edict of Toleration issued by Galerius, there was no further persecution of Christians by the pagan empire. In fact, from the time of Constantine there was to be only one further pagan emperor -Julian the Apostate. Although Julian sought to re-establish paganism, he was also impressed by Christianity and did nothing to persecute the faith, although he censured the Christians for the savage warfare which raged within their own ranks. After Galerius, the only persecution of Christians was to be from other Christians.
What did Romans think about the persecution of Christians?
There is no real evidence of the Romans persecuting Christians before at least 97 CE, and only sporadic periods of persecution even after that. A Christian tradition holds that Nero persecuted the Christians living in Rome because he blamed them for the Great Fire, but historians have been unable to find any evidence of such persecution or even a reason for Nero to want to blame them unjustly. If the story of the martyrdom of Stephen is based on fact, then that instance involved Jews, not Romans.When it occurred, persecution was usually because Christians refused to worship the gods, thereby risking divine wrath. Some Romans felt that the gods could be appeased by punishing Christians who overtly refused to worship them. Sometimes emperors supported one side or the other for political reasons.From the late fourth century onwards, Christianity had become the official religion of Rome and was in a position to persecute pagans and Mithraists. It seems that persecution does not choose its victims - whichever religion is more powerful at the time persecutes the less powerful.
Who did the Romans adopt Christianity from?
The Romans adopted Christianity from the Jews. Up until the time of the emperor Domitian, Christianity was considered a Jewish sect.

(This didn't stop Domitian from persecuting them though)

AnswerThis is false. Whereas Christianity was by and large tolerated by the pagan Romans, apart from three short periods of official and widespread persecution, the Manichaean religion was totally banned within the Roman Empire. Manichaeanism was only permitted after the Edict of Toleration, and then only for a short time, as Christian emperors began to persecute non-Christian faiths.From the time of Constantine, Jews were also widely persecuted by the Roman Empire.
