Which of today's largest religions began during the Roman Empire?

Answer 1

Christianity. At first the Roman Empire thought it was dangerous and persecuted Christians, however later on more sympathetic Emperors tolerated it and finally, near the end of the Roman Empire, Emperor Constantine embraced it. The spread of the Empire actually allowed Christianity to move from the Middle-East right through to Northern Europe. It is now the biggest religion in the world.

Answer 2

The Romans and the other people of the ancient world were polytheistic, which means that they worshiped many gods. They did have various cults, which could loosely be considered a "religion", but for the most part they revered personal gods.
