Many historians believe that the rise in Christianity played a role in the fall of the Roman empire. one reason for this belief is that lots of money was spent on building and running churches and monasteries. this money came from the government which of course came from taxes. another thing is once most of Rome was christian that meant that everyone who was christian became a pacifist. is most Romans were pacifists then they wouldn't fight in wars. once that happened , the government had to hire and pay men to fight but they weren't as loyal because they were from other countries
