The Roman's were pagans who worshiped many gods including some of their emperors. They crucified many Jews who they perceived as a threat. If you were going to claim to be the Jewish messiah it was like asking to be killed.

Pontius Pilate wasn't following any religion when he signed the order condemning Jesus to be crucified. It was pure politics. He was keeping his butt out of major trouble with Rome...the priests had stirred the people up to a frenzy and they were threatening to break out into a riot if they didn't get the blood they were screaming for. He'd already had one bloody riot erupt over his carrying a bust of the emperor through the crowds on a feast day, and he could not risk another riot during this passover. Pilate really didn't want to sign the order, that is why he washed his hands, and why the Jews cried out for Jesus' blood to be on their heads, and on the heads of their children.
(That isn't anti-semitism, I have no liking or disliking for Jews, they're just people, like anyone else. That is history.)
The Roman soldiers were not following any religion when they did as they were told. They were following orders. They had no idea Who Jesus was, or why the Jewish authorities wanted Him put to death, they were just following orders. That is why Jesus forgave them from the cross.

Whatever religion the Romans followed at the time, they didn't crucify Jesus out of religious conviction.
They did it as agents of the state. In the Roman Empire, the penalty for certain crimes was death by crucifixion. That was a civil law, not a religious one.

The ancient Romans worshiped a pantheon of gods headed by Jupiter (Zeus). The most popular of their gods included Mars (the god of war), Venus (the goddess of love), Neptune (god of the sea), Bacchus (god of wine), etc.
But their execution of Jesus was political - it had nothing to do with their religion.

Good question!
Crucifiction?
But think about these:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
Does Imacculate Conception = "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google Imacculate Conception and learn something.
What else do you falsely believe, Immaculate Deception?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing a mental illness and becoming truly lost.
