Not exactly.
In the West, xtianity was legitimized early in the 4th century and was made the official state religion later in the 4th century. The Western Roman empire "fell" late in the 5th century so the jesus freaks had plenty of time to co-exist and steal everything that wasn't nailed down in the process.
In the East, xtianity spent an additional 1,000 years with it's dick firmly implanted up the ass of the Byzantine Empire.
I love you all for the wonderfull history i get to learn. I only study out of hobby and writing role playing stories for D&D or GURPS. History is so full of adventure.
