Since a persecuted church is a pure church, some would point to the cessation of persecution around the time of Constantine as a backward step, as the church lost this purifying influence. Simultaneously, Constantine showed favor to the Christians and so it became to a degree fashionable to be Christian. This brought into the Christian church many who were Christian in name only and thus it ceased to be true to itself. Around this time there was an increased prosperity for the Christians, partly due to state patronage and so the trust of some tended to move away from the master to mammon.
All of the above factors tended to reduce the uniqueness of the Christian message and certainly to grieve the Spirit of God and thus diminish the power of the word in terms of true life-changing conversion.
Christianity is a proselytising religion, and many missionaries are spread around the word preaching to the unconverted. Two factors that could inhibit the further spread of Christianity are:

Education. Studies have shown that the more educated a person is, the less likely he or she is to believe in religion.
