If Christianity brings success, why did the Roman empire collapse after adopting it?

Edward Gibbon in his famous work: "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" (1776) attributed religion as the major factor in the decline and fall of the empire; and scholars have cited his opinion extensively since its publication. However, extensive research since has discovered that Gibbon himself was an avid anti-Christian and the majority of his "proofs" have proved to be utterly false. ... Modern scholarship now recognizes that the rise of Christianity acted more to slow the decline; and acted as the basis for maintaining the Empire in the East and ameliorating the worst affects of the decline and fall in the West.

Hasten. Religion causes the end of many things... Think the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
