Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!

The follow-up question to "Were Christianity's origins miraculous?"--and people don't often seem to ask--is "Did its population growth reflect those miraculous beginnings?" If Christianity didn't spread like wildfire but instead took centuries to gain any momentum or notable influence, then we have to wonder if the nature of its origins were that different from other religions to begin with it. And?

Well, apparently by 100 A.D. Christians comprised about 1% of the Roman Empire. 1%?!?! Not very fucking special or miraculous.
