The influence of Milan decree
Constantine did not lift the restrictions on Christianity and made it a formal state religion, but the laws and other policies he formulated strongly promoted the development of Christianity. During Constantine's reign, he issued decrees granting many privileges to Christianity, such as the right of the church to receive inheritance and donations, and the clergy of the church were exempt from paying taxes and corvees. Believing in Christianity became a shortcut to the promotion of high-level positions in the country. He also built many famous churches, such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. After Constantine, the position of Christianity has been unshakable, and an era of egoism has begun in the history of western culture.

In 380 AD, the Roman emperor Diodorus officially designated Christianity as the state religion, and began to prohibit other religions from performing religious ceremonies. Christianity began to show its exclusivity. In 392 AD, Christians headed by Bishop Dior Fils set fire to the Serabis Temple, and more than 300,000 Greek manuscripts were destroyed. Here, fanatical Christians also succeeded in killing Hipatia, the only famous female scientist in the ancient world, the last important figure of Museen College in Alexandria, and the leader of the local neo-Platonic school. This period is the best golden age for the growth of Christianity. During this period, the original Roman temple was demolished or converted into a church, and the Olympic Games was cancelled.

/kloc-After 0/000 years, Christianity gradually spread everywhere, and the migrating Germanic tribes accepted Christianity in Asia Minor and Byzantium. In the north, northeast and northwest, different nationalities in Slavic system also accepted Christianity through Byzantine church. Missionary, civilization and colonization are often coordinated, so missionaries representing more advanced cultures often bring important changes to many underdeveloped areas. However, it was during this period that Christianity was severely tested: its early sphere of influence in Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor, North Africa and even parts of Spain had been Islamized; Sicily and southern Italy are also threatened; Russia fell under the rule of Mongolian Khan (who believed in shamanism) and Xiongnu Golden Account Khan, and then Anwar, Xiongnu, Mongolia and Turks invaded the west one after another, and Islam was widely spread.

With the split of the Roman Empire, Christianity also split into two parts, the Orthodox Church centered on Constantinople (Byzantium) and the Roman Catholic confrontation. In the process of western European civilization reconstruction, Roman bishops took the opportunity to improve their status. Gregory I tried to expand the power of Roman bishops. Among the western bishops, he is the only one who can be called "Pope" and has become the recognized leader of the western church. In 595, the bishop of Constantinople also called himself "ecumenical patriarch" (also translated as "patriarch"). The increasingly fierce contradiction between the two sides eventually led to division. 1054, Christianity that has undergone severe tests is divided into Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity.

/kloc-the religious reform movement in the 0/6th century saw the rise of Protestantism, Illegalism, Lutheranism, Reformists and other sects. 19th century is a "great century" in the history of Christian communication. In this century, Christianity has spread all over the world.

In Christian doctrine, man is created in the image of God, so when God shows his actions, man must play a decisive role. Since man reflects the image of God, God must need the cooperation of man when he carries out his plan. God and mankind are closely linked. It can be said that God and man exist for each other. According to Christian doctrine, the church is an eschatological group composed of people chosen by God, and the Holy Spirit is injected into the life process of the church. The church consists of people who believe in Jesus Christ, including Jews and non-Jews. The members of the church are all "new Israelis" and are all God's voters. The church is the body of Jesus Christ, and its members are "living stones" used to build church buildings, under the guidance of Pope Locke, the living representative of the church.
