How did the roman empire treat different religions?

Answer 1

Rome's policy towards other religions of the empire was one of toleration and in many cases absorption. Mithraism, the worship of Isis and the Great Mother Cybele were all foreign cults that were imported to Rome. Often times they found similarities between the foreign gods and their own. The only religion or cult that they are known to have not tolerated was the Druids. This was because to the Romans, the Druids with their various authorities over aspects of people's lives were dangerous. They were also repulsed by the Druids' practice of human sacrifice.

Answer 2

The Romans were tolerant of different religions as long as they didn't pose a threat to the state. Many times they found that the gods of foreigners were the same as their own only with different names. Foreign cults were often adopted into the Roman religion.

Answer 3

They simply added them to their own list of gods.

Answer 4

Rome had a policy of tolerance toward most of the religions or forms of worship in the empire.

Answer 5

Rome was tolerant of religions that differed from the standard state gods as long as the worship of those foreign gods did not involve decadence or preach treason.
