You're probably right. I was thinking about when Jesus was around and before where they seemed to have a choice for the most part. I actually wasn't thinking of modern times, but older ancient times since Judaism is the basic form for all Abrahamic religions and Jesus was Jewish.
assuming there was an actual jesus figure at all.
Absolutely true. I think they found a similar person in ancient Jewish texts that could be him, hard to say.
For many Romans it was less effort than Roman gods required. There were some other benefits but really it was Constantine that got Christianity from a million followers to the dominant religion of the Mediterranean and Europe. Then shortly after that the church got power hungry and the really bad stuff started happening and no one on the outside was safe. About 400 years give or take.
