What was the most important reason people in Rome converted to Christianity?

The most important factor which has been ascribed to people converting to Christianity was the promise of salvation in the afterlife. Roman religion and other polytheistic religions just said that after death people went to the underworld, but did not have much to say about the afterlife. Moreover, Christ was a compassionate figure who cared about humanity, whereas the gods of the polytheistic religions did not care much about humanity. Another factor was that the Christians had a missionary zeal and actively pursued converting people, whereas there was no such missionary fervour in other religions.
