Christianity was a factor the caused the fall of Rome. They had all these different religions so some are bound not to get along. And if the ruler would only want one religion you would also get some disputes there. The rise of the Islams also was said to be a factor to romes fall. Which can be the same as what they said about the chritianity and in this paragraph they also said lead poisoning couldve been a factor.
Another cause of the fall of the Roman Empire could have been the East Rome and West Rome were governed separately and had different thoughts. The east was called Byzantine Empire and the west remained central Italy. They eventually both wanted more power and land, so they split from each other becoming their own empires.
There are many single factors, but the combination of such factors like Christianity, decadence, lead, monetary trouble, and military problems caused together, the Fall of Rome. The rise of Islam is even proposed as the reason for Rome's fall, by some who think the Fall of Rome happened at Constantinople in A.D. 1453.
