The way the Romans worshiped a god, depended upon the god. Some, had elaborate rituals that had to be performed, others were content with just a parade of the statue or image. Most gods needed a sacrifice of some type, for example, a harvest god, was offered the first fruits of the harvest, in order to insure the gods help in granting a good harvest the next year and a triumphing general would always offer up part of his spoils to Jupiter. However, many forms of worship were in Thanksgiving or in fulfillment of a vow. Altars and shrines were erected for these purposes.

What are some of the issues that divided pagan Romans and Christian Romans during the Roman Empire?

Pagan Romans believed that there were many gods, and wanted the Christians to worship or at least recognize Roman gods in their worship as well as the Christian God. The Christians wouldn't do this, because it went against their religion to worship more than one god. The pagans also wanted the Christians to do ritualistic sacrifices to their gods, which the Christians also refused to do, as well as worship the Roman emperor. Not worshipping the Roman gods, not sacrificing to the gods, and not worshipping the emperor were all crimes of law in Rome, and so many Christians were killed for not doing these things. Christians were also accused of cannibalism (this is my body, eat this is remembrance of me...), and not contributing to society/laziness.
