Yes exactly. My point was the complete opposite, though.
By the time of the "fall of Rome" and for the succeeding 500+ years during which the Roman empire had many ups and down, being the Roman effectively became the equivalent of being [the right kind of] christian.
It's not at all obvious that it wouldn't have survived as long without christianity.
