In fact, Christianity was not especially popular, in terms of conversions, until the fourth century CE, by which time Christianity and Mithraism had both converted around ten percent of the population.
After Emperor Constantine gave the Christian Church state patronage early in the fourth century, it became politically and socially desirable for some to be identified as Christians.
