I’m not sure what point you mean to make about Christianity. Judaism is also monotheistic, and predates both Christianity and the Romans. The Romans did not think Jews were crazy. Rome didn’t try to suppress Christians because of their belief in one god. They tried to suppress Christians because of violence and not respecting the state religion.

depends on which sect of christians you are talking about. after nero burning christians as candles (googld roman candles), it caused an uproar, many converted to christianity out of spite to nero burning down rome

Never appreciated the joke in the software's name before though LOL
