Like any religion or world view, Christianity provided both benefits and harm to the Roman Empire. Had the new religion remained separate from state, its benefits would no doubt have far outweighed the detriment. However, its adoption as the religion of state, first by Constantine and eventually by Theodosius, is considered to have hastened the decline of the Empire.
