Rome outlawed Christianity because of the unRoman attitude of the Christians. They were not only antisocial according to normal ways of living, they were also treasonous in that they refused to give even lip service to the state gods. This was a serious matter to the Romans, as they believed the prosperity and welfare of the state depended on the disposition of the gods. The Christians themselves were given opportunities to make amends, but when some of them refused, they were executed.

Emperor Nero and his reasons in persecuting christians?

The reason for Nero's persecution of Christians may be attributed to the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD. The city was reduced to rubble and although many thought that Nero may have been responsible for the blaze, a few sources say that Christians may have confessed to the crime, although by free will or by torture is unknown. Because of this, Nero and the community placed the blame on the Christians, and thus they suffered greatly, by being crucified, thrown to dogs, and burned.
