In the first century AD thousands of Pagans realized that their religion was pointless and meaningless.
Because their pagan religion didn't distinguish Evil from Good. And it didn't bring justice, given that the wicked wouldnt have been punished in the Afterlife.
So, as soon as they listened to Christ's teachings, they destroyed their useless altars and became Christians. Because they were oppressed by a bunch of greedy and wicked people: the Romans, who based their life upon the jungle law, or law of the fittest. The Romans used to mistreat the weak and to get rich at cost of the neighbor's poverty.
That's why thousand of Pagans (especially Greeks) became Christians. Because Christ had promised them divine justice: that is, the perpetrators will go to Hell, and the victims to heaven.
Blessed those who hunger for justice, for they will be filled
And an angel shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just.
That's why they were not afraid of dying, when the Romans fed them to lions: because they knew they would go to Heaven
