People's Reactions to ChristianityLoading...
Constantine was the emperor that has accepted Christianity as a religion in Rome. After he officially allowed the freedom of religion, Christianity began to spread around Rome and externally, too. According to the MAD Textbook, Constantine wasn’t Christian from the start, however, he saw a vision of a cross of with the sun behind it, before the battle, therefore, the vision made him believe that they will win if they met the sign of Christ. This event was the start of the whole Christianity within Constantine. One of the reasons why Constantine chose Christianity was because it educated the people that had jobs in the government, and it led to beliefs in faith and worships. Therefore, Constantine has been a very good example of why an emperor would use Christianity to support his country or government. Loading...

Before, they forced to the Christians to worship the Roman gods and that rich and poor should have different opportunities given.
