Why didnt the Christians help the Roman empire Army during it fall?
Pagans at the time claimed that because the old gods were no longer worshiped they abandoned the empire to the barbarians (or, alternatively, punished the empire by sending the barbarians). In more modern times, historians such as Gibbon with his monumental "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" claimed that in some unspecified way Christianity weakened the empire. It is impossible to point to any one factor that led to the fall of the Roman Empire: slavery, civil war, economic problems, external factors that caused the barbarians to migrate, the fact that upper class citizens avoided the army, all seem to have played a more important part than the change of religion (unless, of course, the pagans were right after all!) In fact, Emperor Constantine saw Christianity as a means of uniting the empire and strengthening it. In a way he was correct, because the city he founded endured for over a thousand years!
Who were non-Christians in the Roman Empire?
Most people who lived in the Roman Empire were non-Christians until the Empire itself became Christian (and even then, there were many non-Christians). Most people who lived in the Roman Empire were polytheists (especially the Romans; remember, the Romans conquered many other peoples), though not all believed in the same gods. Others were Jews or had other religious beliefs. There were basically no atheists.Another answerNon-Christians were called pagans.
How did the Roman Empire treat Christians before the edict of Milan was declared?
The Christians were regarded with suspician. Rome had always been tolerant of various religions, recognising that different regional gods were really the same, just with different names. When Pompey captured Jerusalem, he immediately went to the temple to sacrifice to Jehovah, recognising he was the same as Jupiter/Zeus. They however cracked down on religions which did not use the temples, regarding them as potential plotters, for which the Greeks were notorious. Trajan stopped persecutions, but it returned later in different parts of the Empire where Christians brought suspicion on themselves. The Christians eventually openly declared themselves non-revolutionary, Constantine and Licinius ended retaliation in the Treaty of Milan, and then Constantine co-opted the Christian bishops as a second force to his secular power.

Who declared how long the persecution of Christians went on in the Roman Empire?
