Romans viewed Christianity as harmful to the state primarily because Christians refused to worship the Roman gods and the emperor, undermining the traditional religious practices that were integral to public life and civic duty. This refusal was seen as a challenge to the social order and unity, which were believed to be essential for the empire's stability. Additionally, Christians' exclusive loyalty to their faith was perceived as a threat to the cohesion of Roman society, leading to suspicion and persecution.

Why did the Romans try to stop the spread of Christianity?
The Romans did not try to stop the spread of Christianity. There were alternations between periods of toleration and periods of persecution. Some Roman emperors thought that Christianity was a threat to the Roman state because many bureaucrats and soldiers converted to Christianity. The Romans saw their state as being interlinked with Roman Religion. The persecutions were aimed mainly at the civil service and the Christian clergy, rather than Christianity as such. The last and worse persecution, the Great Persecution, failed because it was difficult to implement, because of the resistance of the Christians and because it undermined the stability of the empire. After that, the emperors endorsed Christianity, favored it over other religions and promoted it. Eventually, Christianity became the state religion of the empire. With imperial support, the spread of Christianity accelerated.
Why did many Romans turn to the christian Church as the mighty roman empire was close to collapse?

Constantine therefore turned Christianity into Rome's official religion. The conversion to Christianity wasn't because Rome was coming to an end but simply because it spread so far and Constantine had that dream.

How did Christianity change to adapt to new cultural settings?
It is a pity that this "adapting" resulted in changing basic beliefs of Christian faith and eventually Christianity became apostate. For example Christmas was never a Christian holiday but it was adapted because of the Romans, so that they can easily embrace "Christianity". But the very moment Christianity embraced the so called Birth of The Christ as a Holiday - they became no more Christians but pagans rather.
