>>10150439Nope. There was no corelation between the decline of the Western Roman Empire and christianity. Eastern Rome, just as christian and as roman, was doing fine. Germanic barbarians that conquered western rome were christian too. If christianity causes decline why did the fall of Western rome not lead to a rebirth of supposedly superior paganism? Its because it was just a political rearrangement within the christian world, not a "decline caused by christianity". One christian polity collapsed (western rome) and was replaced by a number of other christian polities that ascended in its place (germanic kingdoms, Byzantium)
