On the practical level, the gods were understood to be closely connected with every aspect of the social and political life of a community...
On the imperial level this meant that it was widely known—and genuinely believed by most—that it was the gods who had made the empire great...
The Christians refused to worship or even acknowledge the gods of the empire, claiming in fact that these were evil, demonic beings, not beneficent deities that promoted the just cause of the greatest empire the world had ever known.
The refusal to worship was seen by others to be dangerous to the well-being of the empire and thus to the security of the state.

I want to collaborate with people and be a part of a creative community. I don't know.
