Here are some examples of religious laws in Christianity:
· Most Christians attend worship services at church on Sundays, which generally include singing, prayer and a sermon. Most Christian churches have a special ritual for ordination, or designating a person fit for a leadership position in the church. At home, most practicing Christians pray regularly and many read The Bible.
· Nearly all Christians will have been baptized, either as an infant or as an adult, and regularly participate in communion (also called the Lord's Supper and the Eucharist). Baptism and communion are considered sacraments - sacred rituals instituted by Christ himself.
· The Catholic Church recognizes five additional sacraments, as well as many other distinctive practices that are known as "sacramentals" or "devotions" and include praying the rosary and going on pilgrimages. Both Catholic and Orthodox Churches have religious orders. The most distinctive practice of Orthodoxy is the emphasis on icons, although Catholics use them as well.

There were not any new religions in the Roman Empire from which Christian beliefs and customs were rooted. Christianity itself was a new religion. Originally it was a sect of Jews and it was rooted in many of the beliefs and customs of Judaism. Then it strove to differentiate itself from Judaism. Judaism was an old religion, not a new one.

Pagan customs have influenced the development of Christianity throughout history by incorporating elements such as rituals, symbols, and holidays into Christian practices. This blending of traditions helped to make Christianity more relatable and accessible to people who were already familiar with pagan beliefs and practices. Over time, some pagan customs were adapted and transformed to fit within the framework of Christian theology, contributing to the rich tapestry of traditions that make up the religion today.
