What religions were the Romans tolerant of and why?
The Romans required the conquered peoples to worship the Roman gods, although they were also free to worship their own gods as well. They made an exception to this requirement for Judaism because the Jews were monotheistic, and therefore could not worship other gods, and because of the perceived antiquity of Judaism. Early Christianity, until at least 90 CE, was seen as a sect of Judaism, to this privilege was extended to Christianity.
What are the 3 least known religions?
In terms of independent religions (not branches of other faiths or anything), I would say Mandaeism, Yazidism, and Cao Dai.
Why is Judaism so much smaller numerically than the other two religions?
Lots of reasons. One is that Judaism doesn't believe in encouraging people to convert. If someone wants to convert to Judaism, they're welcome to (although discouraged at first), but Judaism has no mass programs to get people to convert. Nor did it usually have forced conversions like the other religions did. Another reason is that Jews have been heavily persecuted over the years and many were killed.

The Romans never banned the religions of the other peoples of the empire. They tolerated and respected the religions of the conquered peoples. When Christianity spread around the empire, there was a number of persecutions. However, Christianity was never banned. The only instance of banning religions was when mainstream Christianity (the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church) was made the sole legitimate religion of the empire (and therefore the state religion) in the Edict of Thessalonica of 380.The purpose of the edict was to ban dissident Christian doctrines, which were branded as heretic. The dissident sects, particularly Arian Christianity which was popular around the empire, were then persecuted.
How did the fall of the Roman Empire lead to different forms of worship?
It did not. Different forms of worship existed durning the empire. The Romans tolerated the religions of the conquered people, though Christianity was pesecuted several times. This was because it spread throughout the empire (while the others were localised) and, unlike the other religions of the time, it was monotheistic. The various forms of Chrisitanity developed before the fall of the empire. No new religions developed out of the fall of the empire.

The Romans attempted to impose their state religion on the people they conquered. They obviously gave up doing this to the Jews and reached some sort of accommodation with the Jews.

Romans also absorbed religions from other countries such as Greece, Egypt, and Persia. romans were tolerant of other religion as long as their followers were respectful of the roman religion
