Well, from what I've heard, it seemed to be a casualty of Christianity broadening out of being a mere sect of Judaism. When the Apostle Paul discovered that there would be Gentiles who would be better suited, it became much easier to get them to convert when they didn't have to subject themselves to Jewish customs like circumcision or a kosher diet.
