When Constantine converted Christian, then Christianity became a state religion for the Roman Empire.
One factor that did not contribute to the fall of the Roman Empire was Christianity. Some pagan Romans thought that Christianity had weakened the empire by eroding the fighting fibre of the Romans. This was not the case. When the roman state recognised Christianity, the empire regained political stability and attained a sense of religious unity among the majority of the population of the empire, which was Christian. The Great Persecution of the Christians unleashed by emperor Diocletian in 303 created widespread social unrest which was destabilising for the empire. This led Galerius, an emperor who took part in the Great Persecution, to issue his Edict of Toleration (of Christianity) in 311 to restore the stability of the empire.
The decline of Rome dovetailed with spread of Christianity, and some argue that the rise of the new faith helped contribute to the empire's fall.

Christianity did not easily spread through the Roman Empire. See the related question, "How did Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire?"
There was not one person who spread Christianity throughout the Roman empire. Christianity began its expansion by the efforts of the original apostles and Paul. These men gained followers who in turn gained followers and the movement snowballed.
The apostles and Paul traveled throughout the region teaching others.

Christianity
Christianity did not contribute to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. This part of the empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire, which was also Christian, was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Pagan Romans thought that Christianity had weakened the empire by weakening the fighting spirit of the Romans. This view was incorrect and was a reflection of prejudice.
