There was no such thing as east and west of Byzantine. The Byzantine Empire was not divided into east and west. Its official religion was Orthodox Christianity, which is sometimes also called Eastern Orthodox to distinguish it from the Oriental Orthodox Churches. The latter is an umbrella term for a number of Churches which hare separate from the mainstream Orthodox Churches found among the Egyptians, the Syrians and the Armenians (the Coptic Church, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, and the Armenian Apostolic Church).
