The Christians had it rough in the early days of their religion. When the city of Rome had a
huge fire during Nero's regime, Nero blamed the fire on the Christians, and they were
persecuted. Over time, though, Jesus's disciples began to spread their new religion. Unlike
the Jews, who hardly ever converted new followers, Christians actively recruited new
members. Christianity became a much larger force under the Roman emperor Constantine,
the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, who pushed the faith all across his
empire. By 380 CE, Christianity had become the official state religion of the Roman Empire,
by decree of emperor Theodosis. It serves as the official religion of many European nations
up to the present day.
