rome collapsed because of Christianity.
Rome had a lot of issues going on but their biggest one was their expansionism beyond any reason. It made it impossible to effectively rule the empire, and much worse to defend its borders. Whenever some tribes thought they could reclaim their lost land all battles would be over before roman armies would get there, and in the meantime 2 different fronts opened up of people seeing their chance to reconquer their old land. this chipped away from the empire slowly.
To negate this they hired barbarian mercenaries, but they costed so much they had to engage in fiat money practices not much different than our monetary system today, and that of course invites catastrophe.
This paired with rampant hedonism and egoism resulted in neglection of their people and rampant degeneracy, and eventually it caused the collapse.
simultaniosuly this neglect for their people allowed Christians to convert people through their care and love
according to Rodney Stark
>he [Emperor Julian] complained in a letter to the high priest of Galatia in 362 that the pagans needed to equal the virtues of Christians, for recent Christian growth was caused by their ‘moral character, even if pretended,’ and by their ‘benevolence toward strangers and care for the graves of the dead.’ In a letter to another priest, Julian wrote, ‘I think that when the poor happened to be neglected and overlooked by the priests, the impious Galileans observed this and devoted themselves to benevolence.’ And he also wrote, ‘The impious Galileans support not only their poor but ours as well, everyone can see that our people lack aid from us.’”
Likewise it wasnt Christianity that let jews into rome, they lived free in rome long before, without any laws against them, which only were stript of their right by the Christians after.
