The two main religious leaders in the Byzantine Empire were the Emperor and the Patriarch of Constantinople. The Emperor held significant political and religious authority, often seen as God's representative on Earth. The Patriarch of Constantinople was the highest-ranking bishop in the Eastern Orthodox Church, responsible for spiritual leadership and doctrinal matters. Together, they played crucial roles in shaping the religious and cultural identity of the empire.

What was the main reason the byzantine empire converted from Christianity to Islam?

The underlying premise of the question is incorrect. The Byzantine Empire never converted to Islam and Islam was, by and large, illegal within the Byzantine Empire for as long as it existed. The reason why the territory formerly controlled by the Byzantine Empire became Muslim-majority was because it was conquered by various Islamic States such as the Rashidun Caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Seljuq Turkish Empire, and the Ottoman Empire (which finished the job).


What were the politics of the byzantine empire?

The Byzantine Empire was an Empire, with one Roman (Byzantine) Emperor heading it. The Emperor had full control of the Church, and assigned governors to multiple administrative divisions called themas, or Themes. Unlike the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church was controlled by the Byzantine emperor. A patriarch would be in Constantinople as the main religious leader over all the bishops and priests. The Empire had suffered many different Civil Wars, and changing hands of dynasties, and even was separated into multiple states at one point with the sacking of Constantinople by Venetian Republic's crusaders, with the three major states at that time being the Despotate of Epirus, Empire of Trebizond, and the Empire of Nicaea. The Empire of Nicaea eventually defeated the Latin Empire left behind by the Venetians in Constantinople, and they retook the City, becoming the new Byzantine Empire.
