Because if was so large, the Roman Empire had innumerable pagan cults or "religions". However dealing with Rome itself, there were, in addition to small local cults, three main cults that could be considered religions in that they had set rites and rituals and days of celebration. These were the cults of Mithra, Cybele, and Isis.

What are two religions that came from the split of the Roman Empire. What did the East have and what did the West have?

The religion of the west was Latin Christianity (this was the original name of Roman Catholicism). The religion in the east was Orthodox Christianity. These were the two main versions of Christianity. There were many other versions as well, including Arianism, which was very popular in the Late Empire. The two mentioned religions opposed the other versions and worked to establish their dominance. This difference in the religions of the west and east already existed long before the empire split.
