why might christianityhave a strong apeal tp people who lived within the roman empire?

Question

thank u

Answer 1

According to Christianity everybody counted, everyone was - to use a much abused term - special. In a society of rigid and often brutal separation and stratification like the Roman Empire, this message was almost unbelievably attractive. In the same sort of way that America appears/appeared to people treated as doormats because of their race or religion.

Answer 2

It didn't. It only appealed to their rulers who realised it was a good way of consolidating their power and wealth by having a religion that blamed their subjects for their own poverty and suffering because they were born sinners and if they were subservient to their masters who employed the priests and bishops they would be rewarded with paradise when they died.
Once the rulers were convinced of this the persecution of anybody who disagreed with them could begin.

Answer 3

~Better still, why might christianity (or any other mythology) have any appeal to a rational, intelligent, clear thinking member of the human race with half a brain in the twenty-first century?
