A
True
💡 Explanation:
As Christianity grew, it challenged traditional Roman civic religion and imperial authority, which historically relied on the worship of state gods and the emperor. Many historians argue that the shift in social values and the division of loyalty between the Church and the Roman state contributed to the gradual weakening of the empire's traditional institutions.
