First, with your indulgence, let me correct the grammar of the question: Whydid Ferdinand Magellan bring Christianity? (The best way to know how wrong the question was is to point out you'd never say, "When did you brought Christianity?" Or, "How did you died?" assuming you're talking to a ghost.)
The Renaissance period was when Spain and Portugal were the superpowers. Both were Catholic. Both paid obeisance to the Pope and respected his moral authority. Thus both even deferred to the Pope's preposterous act of dividing the globe into two spheres for both Spain and Portugal.
The main driving force behind the explorations of Spain and Portugal were economic, to find spices which were more precious than gold, and to also find gold.
Bringing Christianity to places they colonized and exploited was a way to appease their conscience for their ignoble deeds, to please the Pope, as well as to bring the fear of God among the natives and make them easier to govern.

He liked to learn new things
To find a new route to eastern asia

he wanted to find a new sea rout to Asia from Africa
Magellan was Portuguese. He sailed west to find a new trading route to Asia and the spice Islands. He could not get permission from the Portuguese King, so he changed nationality and persuaded the King of Spain to give him permission to sail. The Portuguese King did not like Magellan, and did not believe that the world was round. - The King thought this expedition was a waste of money as it was "impossible".

Ferdinand Magellan was the first man to circumnavigate the world. Though he died in a battle in the Phillipines, Magellan proved that the world was round and NOT flat which was the popular belief of the time. He also discovered the Strait of Magellan which is located near the southern tip of South America. This strait allowed traders to easily sail to Asia from Europe. -Timothy D
