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.
